Window shades can detach and fall due to some of the following:
- Poorly installed window shades
- Poorly maintained window shades (i.e., window shades in disrepair, not tightened, etc.)
- Defective window shades (defects in design, manufacturing, or labeling)
No matter the cause of the window shade detaching and falling, it can potentially strike anyone sitting, standing, or walking nearby. This could lead to a number of injuries.
Examples of Injuries Caused by Detached Office Window ShadesA falling office window shade can result in the following injuries:
- Concussions and other head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Ocular injuries (injuries to the eyes)
- Facial injuries (broken nose, broken jaw, broken teeth, etc.)
- Neck injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations
- Scrapes and bruises
Although these injuries might seem to be only minor, they can be significant. These injuries may leave victims needing extensive medical care, which could include surgeries and physical therapy, for example. No matter the specific harm that you suffered, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Can I Sue for Injuries Caused by an Office Window Shade Detaching and Falling?Yes, you could have the right to sue. Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you could have the right to sue the property owner, the business owner (that leases the property), or even the product manufacturer. This is based on the duty of care owed. For property owners, specifically, premise liability determines the duty of care owed to guests. Under premise liability, property owners have the duty to identify and address all hazards that could lead to accidents and injuries. This may also apply to different businesses leasing or renting the property, specifically if the lease/rental agreement states that the tenant is responsible for all upkeep/maintenance. What about product manufacturers? Under product liability law, product manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe and free of any defects in design, labeling, and manufacturing before being released to the public.
What does this all mean? Based on the details surrounding your specific incident and the harm that you suffered, you could have the right to file a claim under premise liability law or even product liability law. For more information about your right to file a claim, contact the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible.
Can I Recover Compensation?Yes, you could be entitled to receive compensation. Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could be eligible to recover compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. What could you recover? Although every claim is different, you could be entitled to recover compensation for some of the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Legal fees
Here at our law firm, our team is committed to getting our clients the maximum recovery available for their claims. Whether we have to negotiate a settlement or take your claim to trial to get you the verdict that you are owed, you can be certain that our team is ready to go above it all to fight for your rights and secure the payout that you are owed.
How much can I receive? This is a very important question. These claims could be worth anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 based on the details of the claim. For a more case specific review of what you could recover if your claim is successful, contact us today. Our team is equipped to handle your claim and help you win the compensation that you deserve.
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, or a deadline to sue. If claimants fail to file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they can lose their right to sue entirely. What deadline applies to my claim? In California, personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have two years to file their claims. What if the accident happened in a government building? For incidents in government buildings, the statute of limitations is much shorter; this is because government claims are subject to a strict six-month statute of limitations. After filing an administrative claim within this time, claimants can have either six months or two years to file lawsuits (this is based on whether the government agency responds to the initial administrative claim or not). For more information about the total length of time that you have to file your office window shade detachment injury claim, contact us today. Our team will make sure that your claim is filed on time.
