There are many issues with one or more parts of a chair that can cause it to break apart. Aside from normal wear and tear, here are some of the most common defects that can cause you to fall off a chair:

• Base irregular: cuando una silla tiene una base irregular, la falta de estabilidad en el suelo puede provocar que se vuelque o se caiga.
• Hardware defectuoso: Los pernos, tuercas y tornillos que no encajan correctamente o están hechos de materiales baratos pueden aflojarse o caerse.
• Mecanismos de bloqueo defectuosos: si está sentado en una silla plegable, los problemas con el mecanismo de bloqueo pueden provocar que la silla se colapse.
• Poor quality materials: cheap materials or ones that are inappropriate for the type of chair being made is a primary cause of chairs that fall apart.
• Incumplimiento de las normas de la industria: aunque la ley no exija determinadas normas, existen especificaciones de la industria que se recomiendan para garantizar la seguridad de un producto. El incumplimiento de estas pautas puede ser la causa de un incidente en el que la silla se derrumbe.
• Defectos en las patas de la silla: las patas de la silla que están desiguales o mal fijadas a la base pueden romperse o soltarse de la silla.

There are many injuries you can sustain if any part of the chair you are sitting in come loose or fall apart. Here are some of the most common injuries that are associated with chair collapse accidents:

• Fractura de rabadilla
• Lesión cerebral traumática por conmoción cerebral
• Dislocación de cadera
• Torsión de la rodilla, que da lugar a un desgarro del ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) o del ligamento colateral medial (LCM)
• Daños en los dientes (dientes rotos o faltantes)
• Lesiones oculares, como desprendimiento de retina y daño al nervio óptico.
• Lesión en el cuello o la médula espinal
• Esguince de muñeca o tobillo
• Cortes y heridas punzantes
• Dolor crónico
• Parálisis en las extremidades

Early medical intervention is the most effective way to prevent permanent complications from any of these injuries, so please see a doctor right away. In addition, talk to a defective chair accident lawyer about the legal options that are available to you.

Yes, if the chair had a defect that existed while it was in the manufacturer’s possession, you can explore the option of filing a product liability claim. Many of the problems that make chairs weak or unstable are due to negligence by the product maker, and this is why many chairs end up being recalled by the manufacturer. However, you don’t have to wait for a recall to sue for injuries caused by issues like defective parts, insufficient hardware, and design flaws. As long as the problem that resulted in the accident occurred during the manufacturing process, you have the right to file a broken chair injury lawsuit against the company that manufactured or distributed the product.

A broken chair accident attorney is available to answer all your questions and help you determine the legal strategy. Call us at your earliest convenience and schedule a free case evaluation.

It’s possible that you may have a claim against the property owner rather than the manufacturer of the chair. Whether you were injured at a residential or commercial property, you have a right to expect that conditions on the premises are reasonably safe. That includes furniture without defects that can lead to an accident. Unfortunately, many people fail to replace worn or defective chairs, and as a result, a guest or customer can end up being injured from a fall when the chair falls apart.

By filing a lawsuit against the property owner or chair manufacturer, you can receive monetary damages for the harm you suffered. The damages you can recover are based on details that are specific to your accident and the losses you suffered as a result. Your settlement from a defective chair injury lawsuit may include:

• Dinero para cubrir sus gastos médicos
• Valor de los ingresos perdidos de su trabajo (salarios, PTO y otros beneficios utilizados durante la recuperación)
• Daños no económicos: dolor y sufrimiento, angustia emocional
• Daños materiales
• Honorarios de abogados
• Daños punitivos

En su mayor parte, lawsuits for chair collapse accidents have a deadline of 2 years. That means you will need to initiate an injury claim with the negligent party no later than 2 years from the accident date. However, the 2-year rule is not absolute, as there are exceptions where the statute of limitations is shorter or longer than normal. A claim for accidents on government property, for example, must be filed in 6 months from the date of injury. As there may be issues that affect how long you have for a defective chair accident lawsuit, please take some time to discuss your case with one of our attorneys.

Si presento una demanda contra un tercero, ¿cuánto tiempo tengo?

En general, el plazo para presentar una demanda por lesiones personales en California es de 2 años, aunque las reclamaciones contra una entidad gubernamental (empleado, departamento, contratista, etc.) deben presentarse en un plazo de 6 meses. Este período comienza a contar a partir de la fecha del accidente, por lo que es importante ponerse en contacto con un abogado lo antes posible. Puede llevar bastante tiempo obtener pruebas, construir una base sólida para una demanda y presentar la documentación necesaria ante el sistema judicial correspondiente. Iniciar el proceso legal lo antes posible es la clave para garantizar un resultado favorable si resultó lesionado por la negligencia o mala conducta de otra persona.
