Where can falling object injury happen?
Falling object accidents can happen everywhere.
• In warehouse store if the shelves are not secured properly
• On construction site if debris nets, catch platforms, or canopies not installed or not installed correctly
• When a person is walking under the scaffolds on the street
• In a parking lot, when the lighting fixture breaks and falls on a person
• In any business building, if chandeliers break or not installed correctly and fall
A person can get hit and injured from objects dropped from balconies or opened windows, magnets that fell off big doors in any commercial building or flying debris, and contraction tools during bridge repair.
Finally, loose or unsecured objects can fall off the truck driving on a highway and cause a multi-vehicle accident on the road.
The falling object accidents don't happen very often, but the effect of these accidents could be devastating. The falling object accidents can result in severe injury (head or spinal cord injury) and, in some cases, accidental death.
Who is liable?
Often the falling object accidents result from the negligence of the business owner or the business management company. If the business knew about the hazardous conditions and did nothing about it, if the company didn't act reasonably fast to rectify the problem or display a warning sign, the business owner or the business management is financially liable for all damages to the victim. It includes all medical bills (past, present, future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Time limits to file a claim
The statute of limitations for all injury claims in Nevada is two (2) years from the accident date. If you got hit by a falling object and got seriously injured, your compensation claim falls into that category. There are exceptions to this rule. With questions, call our office and ask to speak with an attorney for personal injury.
What to do after a falling objects accident
If you got injured in a falling object accident:
• Before anything else, get medical help: Can you walk?
• Notify the business manager about your accident and get the incident report number
• Take many photos of your injuries and area surrounding the accident
• Contact an attorney who handles injury accident claims.
We invite you to call us at 702-432-1000 to discuss your case.
How much compensation will I get for a falling object injury?
Your falling object accident compensation depends on many factors, but mainly how high your medical bills are (past and current medical bills), how much treatment you may require in the future and the at-fault party business insurance.
Some falling object accidents are very severe, resulting in a permanent disability, requiring long-term medical care, and in some cases, a LifeCare plan.
For further information, call our office.
Falling object injury and class action lawsuits
Some falling object cases result in a class-action lawsuit. One example would be when the same defective product injures many people. Another example would be when a single incident leads to injuries of many people, such as a building collapsing during a big public event.
The average settlement for a falling object injury
The truth is the settlement amount always directly corresponds to the dollar amount of medical bills (past, present, future) and other damages, like lost wages, pain and suffering, or losing the quality of life.
Some falling object injuries result in a person becoming disabled for life, and the settlement amount reflects it by providing enough amount for long-term care. Call our office if you want to know what settlement to expect in your specific case.
