Some Causes of Falling Picture Frame IncidentsFalling picture frame incidents can be associated with the following:
- The frame is too heavy for the type or number of nails used
- The frame was placed on a nail that was not nailed onto a supporting beam (some frames are too heavy to be held up by just the nail through the drywall)
- The frame was placed incorrectly
- The frame was placed on a nail that was not inserted far enough
Regardless of the cause of the falling picture frame incident, affected parties – anyone who is standing, walking, or even sitting nearby – can potentially suffer significant injuries. Some examples of the injuries that affected parties could suffer include the following:
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
- Facial fractures and lacerations
- Neck injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Back injuries
- Knee injuries
- Foot injuries
- Lacerations associated with broken glass
Although it is most common for falling picture frames to strike the head and face of victims initially, it is also possible for falling objects to strike the lower portion of the body as well. Because of that, potential injuries vary significantly. Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you should explore the legal options available to you. Do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm today.

In general, falling picture frame incidents are associated with the negligence of a party or entity. Typically, liability will fall onto the property owner. This is because all property owners owe their guests a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their entire premises are free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that can cause incidents. When property owners fail to identify and address the hazards present on their premises, they could directly lead to incidents. This means that property owners could be liable for the harm that occurs on the premises. In other words, if you suffered harm due to a falling picture frame incident on a property, the property owner could be liable and could be sued. If you are interested in learning more about establishing liability and your right to sue, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately.
What Should You Do?After any sort of incident, victims and their families should take a number of steps to ensure that they prepare to file their claims. What should you do? After an incident, affected parties should do the following:
- Take photos of all injuries suffered
- Take photos of the hazard that caused the incident
- Take photos of the whole scene of the incident
- File an incident report with the property owner (request a copy of the report)
- Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information for your reference
- Take note of any surveillance cameras that might have captured the incident
- Gather all medical records
- Gather all records of lost wages
- Seek legal assistance as soon as possible
If you decide to file a claim for your injuries, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation. What could you receive? Some of the categories of compensation that could be available for recovery include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial costs
- Punitive damages
- Legal expenses
The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will be based strictly on the details surrounding your claim. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately. Our falling picture frame incident lawyers are ready to fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. Contact us today to learn more about what you could receive.
Without a doubt, you could have grounds to file a claim. However, you must act quickly to preserve your right to sue – since your claim is subject to a strict deadline. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claims are not filed on time, claimants risk losing the right to sue. How long do you have to file your claim? In California, personal injury claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations, which means that claimants only have two years to sue. However, certain exceptions could apply, which could pause the deadline that applies. To ensure that you are aware of exactly how long you have to file your claim, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately.
