What are my rights if I was harmed by a chair pulled under me? Do I have a case? Can I file a lawsuit if I was injured after a chair was pulled out from under me? Regardless of whether incidents occur at schools, restaurants, bars, casinos, private homes, weddings, parties, or at the office, you might have grounds to pursue a claim.

In some cases, injured victims might have grounds to take legal action against the individual who pulled the chair from under the victim. When someone pulls a chair from underneath another person, they are doing it intentionally. Therefore, victims can actually be eligible to pursue assault and battery claims against the individual who pulled the chair.

If the person who pulled the chair is an employee where the incident occurred, liability could actually be transferred to the employer based on vicarious liability (which states that employers could be liable for the actions of their employees). This means that victims could also potentially pursue assault and battery claims against the employer/property owner (the employer is typically the property owner as well). In cases where an employer or property owner was aware of an individuals likelihood of pulling chairs out or performing other dangerous “pranks” (i.e., there were previous incidents but the employer ignored them), the employer or property owner could also be liable.

Without a doubt, determining your right to sue could be very complicated. Therefore, you should seek legal assistance with a chair pulling lawsuit attorney as soon as possible. Our lawyers are experienced in chair pulling before sitting cases and are ready to help you better understand your right to sue.

Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm suffered, you could be eligible to recover at least some sort of monetary compensation. What could you receive? Every claim is different, but you could be eligible to receive compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

If someone pulled a chair from under you resulting in harm, there are a number of things that you should do to prepare to pursue a claim. Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Take photos of your injuries
• Take photos of the scene of the incident
• Seek medical care
• File an incident report immediately (with the property owner)
• Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information
• Gather any video footage that captured the incident
• Collect all medical records
• Collect all records of lost earnings
• Seek legal assistance with an experienced chair pulling incident lawyer immediately

All personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the time allowed, they could unfortunately lose their right to sue. How long do you have to file your claim?

In the state of California, personal injury claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations; this gives claimants only two years to pursue their claims. However, it is possible for exceptions could apply which could ultimately affect the time that claimants have to sue. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your claim, do not hesitate to contact us at your earliest convenience.
