Clogged Toilet Slip And Fall Accident Lawyer
Slip and fall accidents are the single leading cause of visits to the emergency room. Sadly, these potentially life-altering or even life-threatening accidents can occur in almost any place and at any time. Even the most straightforward issue, like a piece of trash on the floor or a wet area on the floor, can result in injuries that will change the victim’s life forever.
Sadly, one of the most preventable and upsetting causes of a slip and fall injury is a clogged toilet or another type of clogged drain. Regular maintenance and simple care are all required to keep toilet drains and other drains free of clogs and prevent countless unnecessary slip and fall accidents.
Imagine your thoughts when you enter a public restroom in a shopping mall, grocery store, theater, hospital, or restaurant and find a toilet that is overflowing and flooding the floor. Immediately, you are worried about the obvious potential for hazardous contamination. Just the thought of walking in human waste is often enough to make someone turn around and leave the restroom. But those few steps could be all needed to lose your footing and slip and fall.
If you or a loved one have suffered a slip and fall due to a clogged toilet in a public restroom, hotel, or hotel, it is essential that you understand your rights as a personal injury victim.

Common Causes Of Toilet And Drain Clogs
Most people have experienced that sinking feeling when they have flushed a toilet only to discover that the water is rising instead of disappearing down the drain. There is a millisecond of panic as you grab for the plunger to correct the issue. But the result can be far worse when that clog occurs in a public restroom or a hospital, hotel, or motel. Unfortunately, some people are just too lazy to report the issue to management, while others are not paying enough attention to realize the mess that is about to erupt all over the floor. But sadly, the result is the same hazardous mess that could have been prevented with annual drain inspections and professional drain cleaning.
What Can Happen When You Enter A Bathroom That Is Flooded
Walking into a flooded bathroom is never pleasant. Your first thought is that you hope it is clean water leaking from a faucet. But in just a second or two, your nose will typically alert you to the fact that the flood is coming from a clogged toilet or other drains. The rank odor is instantly offensive. But it does not eliminate the reason you went to the bathroom. So you try to tiptoe to the nearest stall and take care of business. But even the most careful and cautious steps can lead to a nasty slip and fall in the filthy water. Not only are you worried about the possibility of injuries, but also the contamination of your wounds from the biohazard in the water.
Unfortunately, the potential for infection could be the least of your worries if you suffer any of these common and very severe injuries related to a slip and fall:
- Broken or fractured bones in the hands, arms, or legs, as well as the collarbone, pelvis, hip, or ribcage
- Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
- Internal bleeding and damage to internal organs
- Facial injuries to the skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or teeth
- Damage to the soft connective tissue of joints or a complete joint dislocation
- Back, neck, or spinal cord injuries
- Head trauma, including a skull fracture, concussion, brain hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury
All these injuries could become life-altering or even life-threatening to an elderly victim or even a young person in good health. The results are often a loss of quality of life, nagging pain and limited mobility, depression, anxiety, and the need for lifelong medical care due to the injuries sustained in a single slip and fall accident. In addition, many victims suffer extreme financial hardships that add to their stress and the emotional trauma of their slip and fall incidents.
Who Is To Blame For Your Injuries?
This question appears simple enough to have a fast answer. However, that is not always the case. For example, under premises liability, the owner of a property has a duty to any authorized guests to provide a safe and hazard-free environment. The obligation is called a duty of care and covers primary care and maintenance of the property. However, in the case of commercial or public property like a grocery store, shopping mall, or restaurant, the duty of care can extend to more entities or people.
You could discover that the blame for your injuries includes:
- The owner of the property
- The lessor of the property
- The owner of the store or restaurant chain occupying the space
- A property management company
- A maintenance company
- The staff working at the establishment
The best way to get a solid and reliable answer about who is to blame for your slip and fall injuries is to schedule a free consultation with the expert clogged toilet slip and fall accident lawyers at Kenmore Law Group. Our team will discuss the incident’s details and help you understand who might be to blame and how our staff would move forward if you decide to pursue a slip and fall injury lawsuit.
How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
Typically, the Statute of Limitations for a personal injury lawsuit in California is two years from the date of the injuries. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule that your legal team will explain if they could apply to your case. If there are no exceptions, you must file in the two-year window or lose your right to seek any compensation for the injuries and losses.
Conversely, you can file the claim much more rapidly to ensure you get the settlement or verdict as soon as possible. Many injury victims face monetary hardships when they are unable to work. And filing their case with the court as quickly as possible is the best way to get the money they need sooner rather than later. The staff at Kenmore Law Group will work diligently to keep your case moving through the court system to ensure you get the compensation you need quickly.
What Is My Slip And Fall Lawsuit Worth?
The dollar amount of every lawsuit is unique because it is based on the details of the case. For example, your slip and fall claim can include expenses you incurred related to your injuries and losses, such as:
- All current and future medical costs related to the injuries sustained in the slip and fall
- Your legal fees for the lawsuit and representation by Kenmore Law Group
- The total of your lost wages if you were prevented from working during your recovery
- The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the fall
