Lumber Liquidators Injury Attorney

Most consumers appreciate the wide selection of materials and flooring surfaces offered at Lumber Liquidators and the tools and items required for a DIY installation. However, as they explore the store, they often fail to notice the safety issues that are lurking in each aisle and around each display until it is too late. Suddenly, they are overwhelmed by a Lumber Liquidators injury incident that could include:

• An injury from a falling object that was located on a free-standing display, wall-mounted shelving, or hanging from hooks on a pegboard
• Harmful falling objects can also include signage on walls or suspended from the ceiling, artwork, or overhead lighting fixtures that are not properly secured
• Trip and fall injuries are also common due to merchandise falling from displays and not being picked up, samples left in walkways, and damaged or folded floor mats at the store entrance
• Slip and fall issues are typically related to leaking water lines or piping, wet or saturated floor mats, malfunctioning plumbing fixtures, clogged drains, or recently mopped floors that do not display proper warning signs
• Burned-out light bulbs or damaged light fixtures also increase the potential for trip and fall injuries in dark areas of the store or assault and battery or sexual assault incidents in dark areas of the parking lot

What makes these issues more upsetting for injury victims is that most, if not all, could have easily been corrected. The only requirement is a bit of attention and action from the staff or store management to inspect the space for safety issue and fix them before they result in an innocent patron suffering a Lumber Liquidators injury.

Unfortunately, most people disregard the potential severity of harm caused by a slip and fall, trip and fall, or falling object incident at a local store such as Lumber Liquidators. They assume any harm, such as a scrape or bruise, would be minor. However, that is not always the case. Many serious injuries can occur due to an encounter with a simple hazard which results in:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Dislocated joints and damage to the soft connective tissue of joins
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can include damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Soft tissue injuries and nerve damage
• Harm to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Facial injuries to the skin, nose, eyes, ears, or mouth
• Head injuries that range from a concussion or skull fracture to a brain hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury

While correcting the issues that caused the Lumber Liquidators injury incident would have taken only minutes because the hazard was ignored, many Lumber Liquidators injury victims face damage and challenges that will alter the rest of their lives.

Not all accidents that occur at a Lumber Liquidators store can be blamed on the store staff or management. In some cases, the incident was the result of a customer making a poor choice, not paying attention, or simply stumbling when their feet get tangled together. However, other injury incidents result from a lack of attention to detail and ignoring the responsibilities associated with premises liability laws.

All private and public property owners must comply with premises liability guidelines created to protect guests’ safety. Keeping stores free of common hazards and quickly correcting any safety issues discovered are part of the legal obligation of the staff at Lumber Liquidators. Duty of care defines the action staff must take after locating a safety issue as at least what the average prudent person would do in a similar situation.

For example, if you see water spilled on the floor in your home, you wipe it up to prevent a slip and fall injury incident. That is what most people would do and think of as common sense. It is also what is required under a duty of care. If the staff at Lumber Liquidators fail to take the appropriate action in a reasonable amount of time, they could be determined to be negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to a customer suffering an injury, Lumber Liquidators can be held liable for the victim’s losses and expenses due to their injuries. Please do not hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group immediately if you feel negligence played a role in your Lumber Liquidators injury incident.

In addition, it is vital to understand that there are minimal exceptions to the time limit that might provide additional time for the victim to file their claim.
