Swivel Chair Collapse Attorney
Most people are familiar with the mechanics of the swivel office chair, which is used at desks in an office or home office setting across the country. A swivel chair is one that swivels around, can be on rollers to pull up to a desk, and can be soft in the seat for when you work at a desk all day. But a swivel chair can be dangerous when it collapses underneath you without warning. A swivel chair can also hold many other hidden dangers, such as with the pinching or amputating of fingers, rolling over and crushing toes, or hold a danger for collapsing underneath you. If you have been injured by a swivel chair, you can call us at the DTLA Law Group today.
Swivel Chairs Can Collapse at Any Time Because They Are Usually Assembled Out of a Box
A swivel chair can always collapse into itself, because most times it is assembled out of a box. A swivel chair rarely comes from the factory pre-assembled. It has to be assembled and depending on the competence of the person putting it together, the chair may or may not be safe once it is assembled. If a swivel chair has a defect in the parts, it is more likely to collapse, and the person sitting in the chair can be seriously injured in the process.

Swivel Chairs Can Be a Pinching or Amputation Hazard for Anyone Trying to Adjust the Chair
If you are sitting in a swivel chair and want to adjust it up or down, you may be subject to a pinching hazard. This means that when you stick your hand up under the swivel chair to activate the lever to lower or raise the chair, there is a risk that your fingers may become pinched. You can also amputate a finger by accident, to where the finger gets stuck in the metal bar used to raise or lower the chair. The undercarriage surfaces of a swivel chair can be rusted, oily, dirty, or otherwise unkempt, which can cause the chair to collapse without notice.
Falling from a Swivel Chair Is Like Falling from a Step Ladder
If you fall from a collapsed swivel chair, you can be injured seriously and need immediate medical attention. Your injuries can be serious, and include:
- Broken bones
- Hitting your head
- Breaking toes
- Breaking your leg
- Coma
- Traumatic brain injury
- Crushing injury
- Amputation of finger
If you are in the position that you fell from a swivel chair, it is like falling from a step ladder. You may have had injuries that cost you to lose days off from work, and you may have a later permanent disability because of the fall from the swivel chair.1 The likelihood of you sustaining a fracture after falling from a swivel chair is high, and if you are male it is even higher likelihood that you will be injured falling and sustaining a fall fracture from a swivel chair or ladder.1 You can call us today at the DTLA Law Group at 855.339.8879.
