Falling Plywood Accident Injury Attorney

It is critical to know that a sheet of plywood or even plywood scraps that fall from above your head can result in significant injuries. While the piece of plywood might not weigh a great deal, it can have sharp edges and pointed corners that are hazardous or even lethal. In addition, the smaller pieces are more likely to become airborne with just a slight breeze that would not lift a full sheet of plywood and turn it into a projectile.

Unfortunately, the hazards of falling plywood can be all around you and your children, including in parking lots at hardware stores, stacked in the yard or the street near a home under construction, a house or building under renovation, near a park or other outdoor area that could be getting some updates, or at your child’s school. So, it is critical you watch for these hazards and never allow small children to play in areas where they could be struck by falling plywood.

The age of the injury victim and their overall health always have an impact on how severely an accident injury could alter their lives. The elderly tend to take longer to heal and can face life-long pain and limitations from an injury that would recover rapidly and completely if inflicted on a younger person. While children tend to heal quickly, their smaller size can increase the severity of a falling plywood injury, such as:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Crushing or compaction injuries
• Damage to soft tissue and nerves that could result in permanent limitations
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that often include internal bleeding or harm to internal organs
• Complete joint dislocations or harm to the soft connective tissue of joints
• Harm to the back, back, or spinal cord
• Partial or complete amputations
• Injuries to the delicate skin of the face and head or injuries to the eyes, ears, mouth, or nose
• Head injuries that can range from a severe concussion or skull fracture to brain bleeds or other traumatic brain injuries

If you or a loved one is struck by falling plywood, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure your injuries are quickly and completely diagnosed and treated. This simple step is critical in providing the most favorable outcome possible. Then, contact the caring staff at DTLA Law Group to learn more about securing any compensation that could be owed to you for the harm you sustained.

Figuring out who is to blame for your falling plywood injuries can be simple in some cases and very complex in others. For example, if you are at a Home Depot or Lowes and a piece of plywood falls from a pallet that is being moved by a store employee, the case is easy to understand. That employee should never have moved such a potentially hazardous object over the head of a customer. Likewise, if plywood falls from a damaged shelf in a hardware store, the liability will be on the store for the poor placement of the potentially hazardous item.

The list of responsible parties gets longer when falling plywood injuries occur on a construction site, at a public space like a park or school, or in your neighborhood. If the plywood is staged for a construction project, the contractor using the plywood could be to blame. It is also possible that the plywood was just delivered and was improperly placed by a delivery truck driver. But all you need to know is that when you work with DTLA Law Group, our staff sorts out all of this information to determine whom you will sue to get the compensation you deserve for your falling plywood injuries.

Victims of personal injuries must understand that there are no predetermined values for specific injuries or accidents resulting in harm. Instead, the compensation amount for each personal injury lawsuit is independently determined by compiling all the losses and expenses incurred by the injury victim. You will work closely with your DTLA Law Group legal team to compile all of your allowable costs used in this process to ensure you are fully compensated for your losses and expenses. The items typically included in the tabulation are:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of your injuries caused by the falling plywood
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the falling plywood injury incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your falling plywood injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the injuries caused by the falling plywood prevent you from working at your regular job until you have fully healed

The Statute of Limitations to make a claim for personal injuries is two years. The time begins on the date of the injuries and ends precisely two years later. If you fail to file your lawsuit with the court in that time, you will lose the right to seek compensation for your losses and expenses once the Statute of Limitations expires. Because there are very minimal exceptions to this time limit, it is critical you contact DTLA Law Group to discuss the time remaining to pursue legal action.

When you work with the dedicated team at DTLA Law Group, you never need to worry about how to pay upfront legal fees or expenses. Our firm only gets paid for our work and investment in your case after the lawsuit is resolved, and you have the compensation needed to cover those costs. In addition, if we fail to win your falling plywood injury lawsuit and deliver the compensation you need and deserve, you owe DTLA Law Group nothing. Please reach out to our staff at your earliest opportunity to learn more about the solutions that a personal injury lawsuit can provide to allow you to overcome your injuries and expenses they created. Our team is here 24/7 to help you resolve this matter.
