Unsecured Merchandise Causing Head Injuries
When employees negligently install shelving equipment or when they mishandle the stocking of shelves, such injuries can occur. In fact stores that fail to properly secure the products correctly or if the employee mishandles the product when stocking the shelves, the establishment can be held liable. However, each case is based on the facts and the surrounding set of circumstances leading up to the injury. If you were hurt immediately seek medical attention for your injuries and make sure to get a copy of the incident report. Injured parties are often given the runaround by the insurance company. Many are told that “they do not have a case” or that “the case is currently being investigated“. However, very few cases that are unrepresented receive any type of results. Insurance companies will generally take advantage of unrepresented claimants and either offer them a low-ball offer or completely deny the claim.
Other Injuries that Victims Could Suffer due to Falling Objects
Every situation is different. In addition to head injuries and traumatic brain injuries, many other injuries are likely. Based on the details surrounding the incident, the resulting injuries can vary significantly. Some examples of the other injuries that victims could suffer include the following:
• Facial lacerations
• Skull or facial fractures
• Broken nose or ocular injuries
• Neck injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Back injuries
• General fractures
• Lacerations
Regardless of the specific injuries resulting from merchandise falling off of store shelves, victims should explore their legal options – you could be eligible to file a falling object incident claim against the store owner.
The Stores where these Incidents Can HappenWithout a doubt, falling merchandise incidents can occur at different types of stores. Some of these stores could include the following:
Regardless of where specifically the incident happened, you should explore your legal options. Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to file an injury claim. Do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately to learn more about the legal options available to you.
Who Is Liable?
Who is at-fault for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered? Who is liable for the harm caused by the falling object incident? The answer is simple, the store owner is liable. This is due to premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care. Because of the duty of care owed to guests, property owners must ensure that their premise is free of any hazards or dangerous conditions (like poorly installed shelves, overloaded shelves, etc.) that could lead to incidents. When property owners breach their duty of care, the hazard or dangerous condition could directly lead to an incident – which can lead to harm to an innocent guest.
When a breached duty of care directly leads to the harm that a guest suffers, the property owner could be liable. This means that the property owner could be sued. For more information about establishing liability and filing a lawsuit against a store owner for an incident on their premises, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm today.
Insurance Companies are NOT on Your Side
Most of the time what will happen in such cases is the insurance company will delay the case. They will do this by making repetitive request. Or they will work diligently to get you to make statements that will adversely impact your case. This will include live recorded statements, in person interviews or other similar tactics. This will allow them to pin down liability on YOU and deny liability. As a side note you are generally not required to make such statements. In fact it is advisable that you refuse to give a statement until you have had a chance to speak with an attorney.
You Can Be Compensated
Based on the details surrounding your claim for your head injuries resulting from falling merchandise in a store, you could be eligible to recover a significant amount of compensation. What could you recover? How much could you be awarded? Although every falling object incident claim is different, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:
If you are interested in learning more about the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our lawyers will not rest until you recover the highest amount of compensation available for your falling merchandise injury claim.
The Factors that can Affect Claim Value
What is my case value? This is a perfectly valid question; however, there is no way to accurately establish case value until we have reviewed all medical bills from your case and until we know the extent of your injuries. If you have suffered a head injury, it is likely that you will have a high value claim, but this will depend entirely on the extent of the injury. Common injuries can include a combination of both head and brain injuries as well as fractures. This can include facial lacerations, bodily injuries, broken foot, fractured nose and ocular injuries.Depending on the combination of injuries sustained, the case value will likely vary significantly. In addition to the other types of injuries suffered, other factors, such as the permanency of the injuries (whether the harm will be permanent) and the amount of income or earning capability lost as a result of the incident can also affect case value. To learn more about the potential value of your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our lawyers immediately.
