Falling Curtains Injury Attorney

Large windows and natural light are significant factors when renters are looking at an apartment, rental house, VRBO, AIRBNB, condo, or hotel. They are also a perk when you are purchasing a new home or looking to make an investment in real estate. Everyone loves opening curtains to let in sunlight and enjoy the natural beauty. However, they also demand the ability to shut out the light and potential heat when they are ready for added privacy and a low-light setting. While they get little or no credit for their contribution to property function and value, curtains and other window treatments bring a lot to the space they serve. However, they can also pose a safety hazard when not properly maintained.

As you consider the curtains in your condo, apartment, or home, you might never think of them as a possible safety hazard. Even if they fall, it is typically just a panel of fabric. However, you must consider that for a falling curtains incident to occur, the curtain rod and other hardware are also likely to be falling.

How Do Falling Curtains Cause An Injury?
When you think about the weight of a curtain or how small the package is when you purchase new curtains, it can be challenging to understand how they present a safety hazard. However, it is crucial to know that most falling curtains include the rod or other hardware that will cause more severe injuries. In addition, the yards of fabric often result in the victim getting tangled and falling on other objects, which can cause catastrophic harm. Some of the severe injuries victims of falling curtains injuries sustain include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Dislocated joints or damage to the soft connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can include internal bleeding or damage to internal organs
• Soft tissue injuries to ligaments, tendons, or nerves
• Damage to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Facial injuries to the skin, eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Head injuries from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a life-altering traumatic brain injury

If you are the victim of a falling curtains incident, it is essential that you swiftly seek a complete medical evaluation. The shock of this event can result in adrenaline that masks the severity of injuries. It is also vital that any child who suffers a falling curtain incident receive medical care to ensure no injuries from the falling object or resulting fall that could have caused harm. Immediate medical evaluations and care are vital in ensuring the most positive and rapid recovery from falling curtains injuries.

When Can I Sue For My Falling Curtains Injuries And Losses?
To know when you have grounds for a falling curtains injury lawsuit, you need to understand premises liability and a property owner’s legal obligation to guests of their property. Premises liability defines the maintenance and steps a property owner, or their staff must take to eliminate safety hazards and ensure the safety of anyone legally using or visiting the property.

Duty of care goes a bit further to explain the level of care that must be provided by owners and their staff with regard to guest safety. The care is defined as being at least equal to what the average prudent person would provide if faced with a similar situation. For example, if you see litter in a hallway, you pick it up and properly dispose of it to prevent anyone from tripping and falling. Similarly, if you notice that the hardware supporting curtains is loose, you repair it or replace it to ensure there is not a falling curtains injury incident. These are common sense acts that the average person would provide to ensure the safety of everyone in their home.

This common sense care is also what is required of a property owner or their staff if they discover a safety hazard. In addition, they are obligated to conduct safety inspections to ensure any issues are detected and repaired promptly. If the staff or owner fails to deliver this minimum level of care, they can be found negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to an injury accident, the owner can be held liable for the injury victim’s losses and expenses due to the incident.

If you are unsure who is to blame for the injuries you suffered due to falling curtains, please contact Kenmore Law Group today. Our staff will book a free consultation for you to explain the incident to a skilled falling curtain injury attorney to determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit.

How Much Is My Falling Curtains Lawsuit Worth?
If falling curtains hurt you, it is essential to understand that even if you have grounds for a lawsuit, the amount of compensation you receive is not predetermined. The value of each lawsuit filed with the court is unique because it is based on the losses and expenses of the victim. You will work closely with your Kenmore Law Group legal team to compile all of the allowable costs you incurred because of the injuries you suffered in the falling curtains incident. The items that are typically used in this process will include but are not always limited to:

• All your current and future medical costs from diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries suffered in the falling curtains incident
• Your legal expenses for preparing, filing, and litigating your falling curtains injury lawsuit
• Any lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from working at your regular job until you are completely recovered and for any lost income due to time spent getting medical treatment for your falling curtains injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed during the falling curtains incident

In cases where the victim suffers significant harm that will require a lengthy recovery, it is possible to also seek added compensation for pain and suffering. Because this is undocumented, your falling curtains injury attorney will help you select a reasonable amount based on previously resolved cases with similar circumstances or injuries. The Kenmore Law Group is well-known for securing the most robust compensation possible for our clients. We will work diligently to ensure you get the funds needed to cover all your losses and expenses caused by this unfortunate injury.

How Long Do I Have To Decide If I Will File A Lawsuit?
Victims of personal injuries have two years from the date of their injuries to file a lawsuit, according to the Statute of Limitations. This is a time limit that applies to all lawsuits and varies based on the legal matter involved in the case. However, in all instances, once the Statute of Limitations expires, the victim loses the right to seek justice and compensation for the losses and harm they suffered from that specific incident. So, it is vital you contact Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the time remaining for you to file a falling curtains lawsuit if that is the solution that best meets your immediate and long-term needs.
