Falling Plywood Injury Attorney
When walking through Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace Hardware, Mountain Hardware, True Value, Altadena Hardware, Lake Drive Hardware, or any others in California, the last thing on your mind is to watch for falling plywood. Rarely do most people look up to see what could fall on them. They are far more focused on what is to the right, left, in front of them, or behind them that could cause an injury. The same is true when they are walking around a lumber yard or on a construction site. So, it is a complete shock for most victims of a falling plywood injury when they are struck by these often large pieces of wood that can cause severe injuries.
While the injuries from a single sheet of plywood can be significant because it measures roughly four feet by eight feet, the harm from several sheets or a stack of falling plywood can be devastating. Hundreds or even thousands of pounds of plywood can easily result in life-altering or even life-threatening harm. Victims are left wondering how they will pay for the cost of their medical care and recover their lost wages.

Falling Plywood Hazards Surround You Every Day
Most people only think of falling plywood hazards when they are in a hardware or big box store like Home Depot or Lowes. However, there can be stacks of plywood in many other locations, such as at a construction site, on pallets in a parking lot, along the side of the road, or on a neighbor’s property. While the stack of plywood might not be over your head, wood could still fall from the pile and cause injuries to your legs, feet, or ankles.
In addition, it is critical to think about how a child’s smaller stature compares to even a short pallet of plywood. A child could suffer severe harm from a single sheet of plywood falling on them from just a few feet off the ground. Even if they are not playing on the stack of wood, they could venture near it to retrieve a ball or other toy and suffer a life-altering injury. Keep safety at the forefront of your mind when you and your loved ones, especially children, encounter a stack of plywood at a park, apartment complex, or any public space that is not barricaded and could become hazardous.

The age and overall health of the victim will have considerable influence on the severity of some falling plywood injuries.

Who Is To Blame For Falling Plywood Injuries?
Determining who is to blame for a falling plywood injury can be simple in some cases and very challenging in others. For example, staff negligence is relatively easy to recognize if you are in a Home Depot store and sheets of plywood fall because they were improperly stacked. Even if a customer placed the plywood improperly on the shelf. The staff at the store have a legal obligation to inspect the store and maintain it in a safe manner. The Home Depot staff should have been monitoring for safety concerns as well as handling restocking items on high shelving to prevent injury accidents.
Determining who is responsible for a pallet of plywood sitting on a construction site or along the street could be more challenging. Of course, the property manager or construction site manager is responsible for the overall safety of the site. However, the plywood could have been placed by a hardware or lumber store delivery team or another contractor delivering supplies to the site. Fortunately, as the victim of a falling plywood injury, you do not need to worry about whose negligence caused your harm. Instead, just place your trust in the team at Kenmore Law Group and know that we will work diligently to protect you and your financial future.

How Much Is The Compensation For The Average Falling Plywood Injury Lawsuit?
It is vital for victims of a falling plywood injury lawsuit to know that there are no predetermined values for these lawsuits or any personal injury claims. Instead, the value of the compensation awarded for each case is carefully calculated by evaluating and compiling all the allowable expenses incurred by the victim. Working with your Kenmore Law Group falling plywood injury lawyer, you will gather the supporting documents for these expenses typically claimed when determining your lawsuit compensation amount:
- All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the injuries caused by the falling plywood
- All expenses related to the legal services needed to prepare, file, and litigate your falling plywood injury lawsuit
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the falling plywood injury incident
- Any lost income if the injuries sustained due to the falling plywood prevent the victim from immediately returning to work or if they missed work to receive medical treatment for those injuries
How Long Do I Have To File My Falling Plywood Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations provides two years for the victim to file a falling plywood injury lawsuit; the time begins on the date of the injury incident and ends precisely in two years. Very few exceptions provide additional time to file a claim if the victim fails to have their case in the hands of the court in two years.
