Chair Pulled from Under Me Can I Sue lawsuit attorney sue lawyer

Most of us had literally fallen victim to cruel pranks – like pulling chairs. Did you have your chair pulled from under you? If so, you likely ended up on the floor with some sort of injuries.

The Possible Injuries

If someone pulled your chair away as you were sitting down, you likely ended up on the floor. Unfortunately, these incidents can be very dangerous. Some of the injuries that affected parties could suffer include the following:

  • Lesiones en la cabeza
  • Lesiones cerebrales traumáticas
  • Lesiones cervicales
  • Lesiones de espalda
  • Lesiones medulares
  • Lesiones pélvicas
  • Lesiones de cadera
  • Fracturas

These are just some of the injuries that victims could suffer. In some cases, these injuries could cause permanent, debilitating harm. In other cases, these injuries could even be fatal.

Why Do These Incidents Happen?

In general, these incidents are associated with the direct actions of others. Typically, pulling chairs from under people who are trying to sit are seen as fun pranks; however, chair pulling is definitely not fun for the people who end up injured on the floor. Whether people are trying to simply be funny or have malicious intent when pulling the chair, serious harm could occur – and they could be held accountable. Depending on the details surrounding the incident, other parties could also be accountable.

¿Puedo demandar?

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.

¿Le pueden indemnizar?

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:

  • Gastos médicos
  • Pérdida de ingresos
  • Dolor y sufrimiento
  • Pérdida de consorcio
  • Gastos de sepelio y entierro
  • Daños punitivos
  • Honorarios de abogados

If you are interested in learning more about the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive if your claim reaches a positive claim outcome, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our injury attorneys are ready to help you recover the highest amount of compensation available. Whether our lawyers must negotiate a fair settlement or take your lawsuit to trial to reach a settlement, you can trust that our lawyers will not rest until you recover the compensation that you are owed.

¿Qué debe hacer?

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:

  • Haz fotos de tus lesiones
  • Haz fotos del lugar del incidente
  • Buscar atención médica
  • File an incident report immediately (with the property owner)
  • Hablar con los testigos y recopilar su información de contacto
  • Reúna cualquier grabación de vídeo que haya captado el incidente.
  • Recopilar todos los historiales médicos

Presente su reclamación rápidamente

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.
