Supercuts Hair Salon Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Of course, people can slip and fall down at all sorts of places, but these accidents are especially common at hair salons. There are three main elements that can cause these accidents: hair, water, and hair products. All of these are slippery substances that are easily found on the floor at a Supercuts store. In addition, things can be tracked in from other areas of the store, including the parking lot and sidewalks. In short, hair salons are full of things that will lead to an accident where someone falls down.

Store owners and their employees must ensure that all areas of the store are clean and free of safety violations. Sadly, these are low-priority issues at many salons, even when someone is specifically assigned to sweep the floors, mop, make repairs, etc. The result is that a dangerous condition, like water on the floor, can exist on the property for hours at a time, only to be noticed when someone has been injured from a slip and fall.

When it comes to a fall-related accident, there are countless circumstances that may be to blame. That’s why hair salon owners and workers must keep an eye out for hazards and ensure that there is a regular schedule for cleaning, inspections, and maintenance. This is the best way to prevent slip and fall injuries at the salon, which can be attributed to the following hazards:

• Water leaks, especially from hair washing stations
• Drink spills on the floor (water, coffee, juice, etc.)
• Salon bathroom hazards, like overflowing toilets, leaking pipes, and debris on the floor
• Loose electrical cords from styling tools
• Worn patches on rugs and carpets
• Improper cleaning methods that cause slippery floors
• Leaks from appliances, like fridges and freezers
• Rubber gloves and masks on the floor
• Ice on sidewalks and parking areas
• Defective or broken handrails

One thing to keep in mind is the deadline to file a lawsuit for a slip and fall injury, which is known as the statute of limitations. As an injury victim, you have two years from the date of your accident to initiate a claim against the responsible party. If you fail to take action on a lawsuit during this time, you will be prohibited from suing Supercuts, even if you have compelling evidence of their wrongdoing. A few exceptions exist in order to give victims more time to sue, but it’s very difficult to qualify for an extension once you exceed the two-year mark. Please take a moment to contact our law firm so that we can take immediate action on your case.

Even if it’s obvious that you are entitled to payment from Supercuts, how much can you ask for? What is the average case value of a hair salon slip and fall injury case? This is a difficult question to answer, as no two accidents are alike. Based on the cause of your accident, the injuries you’ve sustained, and many other elements, you can receive some or all of the following damages from a personal injury lawsuit:

• Cost of medical services and treatments
• Lost wages while you are out of work  
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Compensation for damaged property
• Legal fees
• Punitive damages  

Based on the total sum of your damages, a settlement for a slip and fall case may fall within the range of $150,000 to $2,500,000. However, this is simply an estimate based on past verdicts and settlements. For a detailed explanation of what you can expect from a lawsuit, please talk to a Supercuts store accident attorney at our law firm.

Just as we’ve mentioned with case values, there are many factors that will impact the case resolution process for a slip and fall injury at a hair salon. Overall, we would say that 6 to 12 months is a realistic amount of time to settle these claims, though we have had cases that were resolved in just 30 days. However, the legal actions that are necessary to recover your damages can take up considerable time and effort, perhaps over two years. To get a better sense of these issues and how long it can take to get paid on a Supercuts slip and fall claim, call us to schedule a free case review.
