The Average Value Of A Falling Object Injury Lawsuit

Most consumers give very little thought to safety issues when they are shopping. While they are not aware of the names of the laws and sections of the law that provide protection to guests when at a store or other commercial property, they know there are guidelines the staff and management must follow to ensure the safety of patrons, which falls under premises liability law. So, most people focus on finding the items on their list and searching the massive shelving and rack systems in the larger stores to locate the needed items, with little concern for harm due to falling objects. However, reports indicate that over 100 consumers each day are injured due to falling objects.

It is critical that consumers be aware of the hazard of falling merchandise as well as other items that might cause harm if they fall on a person, such as lighting, large signage, security or technology components located on walls or hanging from ceilings, or even debris falling from trees. In addition, it is critical you understand that all stores pose a risk to your safety, especially the largest retailers in the country that tend to pack merchandise to the rafters on massive rack systems. The most well-known and massive stores that pose the greatest risk of an injury from falling merchandise include:

Can A Falling Object Cause Significant harm?

Most people think in two dimensions. They watch for items that could result in injuries, but ones that are in front of them or behind them as well as to the left and right of them. They fail to think of the items that are stacked overhead on countless shelves and racks. The idea of a falling object seems almost out of the realm of possibility. However, these hazards must be taken very seriously as they can result in severe injuries that are life-altering or even potentially life-threatening. While not all falling object incidents will be so serious, many are and can include one or more of the following injuries:

• Broken or shattered bones
• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage that is often related to a compression injury
• Soft tissue and nerve damage that often results in permanent limitations or disabilities
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints or complete joint dislocations
• Partial or complete amputations
• Injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or delicate tissue of the face
• Head trauma that can range from a severe concussion or skull fracture to brain bleeds or other traumatic brain injuries

If you or a loved one are struck by falling merchandise or other objects while shopping, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure that any injuries are quickly and properly diagnosed and treated. Then, reach out to Normandie Law Firm to discuss the potential of filing a falling object injury lawsuit to help cover the cost of your losses and expenses caused by these injuries.

How Is Responsible For Falling Object Injuries?

It is vital all victims of falling object injuries understand the basic concept of premises liability law. These rules and guidelines were created to ensure the safety of the general public when they visit any private or public space. The ultimate responsibility for the safety of the space and guests visiting it falls to the property owner and their staff. They are required to routinely inspect the area for safety hazards and eliminate them, as well as remove any safety issues reported by guests. If they fail to take the appropriate action to eliminate safety concerns, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the negligence of staff or the property owner caused or contributed to a guest’s harm, the owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses of the injury victim.

If you feel your injuries due to a falling object or merchandise were caused by negligence, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today. Our experts will evaluate the incident and help you determine if a falling object injury lawsuit is the best resolution for the expenses you face.

What Is The Average Value Of A Falling Object Injury Lawsuit?

It is vital that all personal injury victims understand that there are no predetermined compensation amounts for any injuries or accidents. Instead, the legal system will carefully evaluate all the actual expenses and losses incurred by the victim because of the incident and injuries they sustained. Working with the falling object injury attorneys at Normandie Law Firm, you will compile all the documentation to support your claimed expenses that will typically include but are not always limited to:

• All current and projected future medical costs related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries caused by the falling merchandise
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the falling object incident
• Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from returning to your regular job and duties until you have fully recovered from your falling object injuries
• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating your falling object injury lawsuit

In cases that involve severe injuries and a lengthy recovery period, it is permitted to seek added compensation for pain and suffering. Because these are not documented amounts, your Normandie Law Firm legal team will research recently completed cases with similar details to provide you with a fair and reasonable amount to include for pain and suffering.

How Long Do I Have To File My Falling Object Injury Lawsuit?

Victims of personal injuries need to know that the Statute of Limitations defines the time they have to file a lawsuit with the court. While this time limit varies based on the legal material involved in the case, the expiration of the Statute of Limitations means the victim loses the right to seek any compensation or justice for the harm caused by that incident. Falling object victims have two years from the date of the injury incident to submit their lawsuit to the court. So, you must contact Normandie Law Firm today to discuss how much time remains to file your case.
