Lawyer for Injuries from Accidents at Desert Hills Premium Outlets

Known as a luxury shopping center, Desert Hills Premium Outlets is a favorite shopping and tourist destination for many people in the Los Angeles area. Located at 48400 Seminole Dr, Cabazon, CA 92230, the mall is just an hour away from the city of Los Angeles and 20 minutes from Palm Springs. Currently, Desert Hills is home to around 180 stores, restaurants, and cafes.

Aside from the allure of designer brands, this is an outlet shopping center, which means most of the merchandise is offered at a discount. It’s no wonder that so many people flock to these stores, especially on weekends and during the holiday season. While big crowds drive profits at a shopping center, it also increases the possibility of accidents, such as:

• Slip and fall or trip and fall
• Injured by falling objects in stores
• Assault and battery – security guard abuse, theft, in-store burglary, and sexual assault at outlet mall
• Restaurant injuries – burns, food poisoning, foreign object in food
• Parking lot accidents, like slipping on ice or car crashes

Retailers have the highest degree of responsibility to prevent accidents on their premises. Thus, if you were injured due to a business owner’s failure to exercise reasonable care, you may have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit. We can help you explore your rights and legal options during a free consultation, so please contact the attorneys of Kenmore Law Group.

Legal Basis for a Lawsuit against Desert Hills Premium Outlets

In this section, we will discuss the concept of premises liability and how it provides you with a basis to sue a negligent business owner. Essentially, any property owner has a legal responsibility to keep their premises free of hazards. For the most part, this involves cleaning and maintenance of the property, but security is another important aspect of keeping others safe. That’s why you normally see surveillance cameras and security guards at a shopping center.

Commercial property owners are also responsible for the actions of their employees when they cause harm to another individual. Mall security guards, for example, must exercise good judgment when it comes to the use of physical force. Even if they have no choice but to restrain an individual, it’s unlikely that they would have to use chokeholds, firearms, and other potentially fatal methods. Another example has to do with food court and restaurant staff if they are careless in how they prepare and handle a customer’s order. This can lead to injuries from foreign objects in food or food poisoning, which can also be grounds for a lawsuit against the business.

There is much more that we can say on the subject of store liability for injuries to guests and visitors. But we will need to speak with you in person to determine how these principles apply to your accident and the compensation you are entitled to.

How Much is the Average Settlement for a Shopping Mall Injury Claim?

While we understand people’s need to have a sense of average case values, the amount you can receive from an injury claim is specific to the details of your accident. Among these details, the store’s involvement in causing your accident and the injuries you suffered as a result are the most important factors. A settlement of $50,000 or less may be appropriate for certain claimants, while victims with more serious injuries can end up with $2,000,000 or more.

Our job is to secure the highest possible settlement based on the harm you’ve suffered. That’s why you should meet with a Desert Hills Premium Outlets injury lawyer right away, who can advise you on the value of your shopping center injury case.

How Long Does it Take to Receive Payment from an Accident Claim?

Reaching a settlement with the negligent party is something all injury victims look forward to. In our experience, lawsuits against shopping centers usually take around 6 to 10 months, though some cases are settled in just a matter of weeks. But corporate entities will do their best to settle claims for as little as possible. As personal injury lawyers, our goal is to ensure that you receive a fair settlement award and recoup all these losses you’ve sustained from your accident. This process can sometimes take 2 or more years, depending on the necessary legal actions.

Statute of Limitations for Accident Lawsuits against Desert Hills Premium Outlets

Statute of limitations is a complicated subject, as various circumstances can affect the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. Most claims involving injuries on someone else’s property have a 2-year statute of limitations. Generally, the timeline starts from the day you are injured, but there are exceptional circumstances that will allow you to ask for additional time from the court. Keep in mind, however, that extensions are extremely rare, so you will most likely lose the right to a lawsuit if you do not file a claim within 2 years.

One notable exception to the 2-year rule is the statute of limitations for lawsuits involving sexual assault. Adult victims have 10 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit for monetary compensation. If you were under 18 at the time, you have up until the age of 40 to file a lawsuit for child sexual abuse.

We are here to take your call 7 days a week, 24 hours a day if you have questions about the time limit to file an accident injury claim against Desert Hills Premium Outlets.
