Life Storage Accident Injury Lawyer

As life has become more prosperous, most people have accumulated more things than they have space in their homes. This, along with the typical inheritance and inability to part with sentimental items, can help explain the growing number of personal storage facilities across the state and country. Life Storage now has over 1,100 facilities in the country and nearly 50 locations in California. These locations can be found in larger cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach, and San Francisco, as well as smaller communities like Aliso Viejo, Elk Grove, and Loomis.

And while these facilities do provide a somewhat safe and secure space for your treasures and sentimental items, they might not be as safe for you and your loved ones as you initially thought. So, it is vital that you take added care when moving your items into and out of storage or any time that you are visiting the location. Sadly, you would think that the staff of these facilities would have little else to do other than maintain the building and property. But that is not always the case or the perspective they choose to take.

Common Safety Hazards Found At Life Storage Facilities
You might think minimal safety issues exist in a facility only used as countless storage spaces. However, you need to take into consideration the number of people entering the property each day and the items they are transporting to understand the potential hazards you might encounter when walking to your storage unit or wheeling a cart of belongings into your rental space.

Because of the random items transported in and out of the facility, the amount of traffic, and the countless carts and dollies in use, beware of these common safety concerns:

• Water or other liquids spilled on the concrete flooring that are not promptly cleaned up can create a very slippery surface
• Small items that can spill from cartons or packed boxes, like beads, decorative pebbles, sand, granular soap, kitty litter, or other fine materials, can make the footing very hazardous
• Screws, bolts, or other hardware used for constructing shelving in storage units
• Paper or other small items that become litter as they are stepped on or kicked out of the way in halls and on steps
• Damaged or missing handrails at steps or ramps
• Damaged flooring surfaces
• Injuries from falling items if someone has a storage unit door open and a large thing falls from a shelf as you pass by
• Carts or dollies that are left in walkways, around corners, or in dark spaces
• Damaged surfaces in the parking lot or on sidewalks
• Corners in the parking lot that are obscured due to overgrown plants

Injuries Caused By The Many Safety Hazards At Life Storage Facilities
With so many possible hazards on these properties, patrons must understand that they could suffer dozens of different injuries that could alter their lives and ability to earn a living. S, it is vital to keep aware of your surroundings to avoid these common accidents that could result in life-altering or even life-threatening injuries:

• Slip and fall accidents are common in areas where there was a spill on the floor, or litter was left on the steps
• Trip and fall accidents often occur when items are dropped on the steps and not picked up or left in a walkway, or there is damage to the flooring surface
• Injuries from falling objects can occur when you are near another storage space with items improperly stacked on shelves or even in the hallways or on an elevator if boxes are stacked too high and tip as you are walking past or standing nearby
• Assault and battery are common in these spaces when security is lax, and the general public can enter the facility and try to rob customers who are loading or unloading their storage units
• Sexual assaults can occur when security fails and is compounded when there are dark areas in the facility due to poor lighting or burned-out lightbulbs
• Vehicle versus pedestrian injury accidents can occur when the parking lot area is not well maintained with proper signage and vision is obscured by overgrown or poorly maintained plants and trees

When these issues contribute to or cause your Life Storage accident injuries, you could have reason to seek compensation from Life Storage for your losses and expenses due to the damages you suffered.

When Is Life Storage To Blame For Your Injuries?
Property and business owners must follow the guidelines of duty of care and premises liability to protect the safety of guests on the property. The rules are straightforward and easy to understand and apply to most hazards you could find at a Life Storage facility. The care the owner and their staff provide must equal what the average prudent person would deliver.

So you can imagine how the average person would handle water or other material or liquid spilled on the floor to know what is expected of the staff at Life Storage. If the hazard is not cleaned up promptly, the team could be found negligent in their duty of care. Likewise, if the trees are growing into the street and a driver cannot see you crossing the parking lot and hitting you, the Life Storage facility could be liable because they failed to safely maintain the property.

When it is determined that the staff at Life Storage was negligent in their duty of care and that negligence caused or contributed to an injury accident, you typically can sue for your losses and expenses. Your Normandie Law Firm Life Storage accident injury lawyer will help you understand how the failure of the Life Storage staff caused you to suffer an injury and how to secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is The Value Of My Life Storage Accident Injury Lawsuit?
The value of each personal injury lawsuit claim is unique because it is based mostly on the expenses and losses suffered by the victim. The staff at Normandie Law Firm will assist you in compiling all allowable costs to determine the value of your claim, which will often include:

• All current and future medical expenses to treat the injuries from the Life Storage accident incident
• The value of any personal property that was destroyed or damaged in the incident
• Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevented you from returning to work immediately after the Life Storage accident injury event
• Legal fees and expenses from Normandie Law Firm for their work to prepare and litigate your Life Storage accident injury lawsuit, as well as the court fees for filing the claim

If you suffered significant injuries and will require an extended recovery time, it is common to also request compensation for your pain and suffering. There is no supporting documentation for this amount, so you will rely on the expertise of your Normandie Law Firm team to provide a full and fair amount based on previous cases they handled.

When To File A Life Storage Accident Injury Lawsuit
You have two years from the date of your injuries to file a claim against Life Storage. If the case is not filed with the court system by then, you will often lose the right to seek compensation for that incident. However, you have the right to file as soon after the incident as you like. Filing rapidly is often the best solution for injury victims facing significant medical and living expenses when they are unable to work and maintain an income.
