Broken Chairs and Liability

Chairs can break for a variety of reasons. For example, if the chair was poorly maintained, it could break and cause harm. Likewise, if a chair was not assembled properly, it could break and cause injuries. The question here is who is liable? Who should have taken appropriate measures to prevent your accident? Liability is based on negligence. Negligence consists of four elements: duty, breach, cause, and harm. In businesses, for example, business-owners have the duty to keep their premises safe for customers. If you have an office job, your boss has the duty to keep the office free from hazards. When someone with a duty of care fails to keep the premises safe, they are breaching their duty of care. Examples of common breaches of duty include failing to repair broken chairs or failing to inspect chairs. A breach of duty could cause an accident and lead to injuries. The same applies to defective products. Companies have a duty to provide their consumers with products that are safe to use. If they make a defective product available for purchase, they could be found liable for any injuries sustained. For more information about who is liable for your chair accident, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible.

Can I Sue if a Chair Broke and I Got Injured?

If so, you might not be eligible to sue because your reckless actions resulted in the broken chair and your injuries. Did the chair break because it was not assembled properly?
