Toilet Malfunctions That Lead To Safety Issues
Unfortunately, there can be many issues related to the somewhat simple function of a toilet that can flood a bathroom floor or stall with water. Some of the most typical problems include:

• A cracked holding tank on the toilet
• A leaking water line or connection from the water pipe to the toilet tank
• A faulty valve allows the toilet tank to overfill and leak onto the floor
• Leaking joints in the drain line under the toilet
• A clogged drain causes the toilet to overflow
• A cracked toilet bowl that allows water to leak onto the floor

While any of these could be the reason for water on the floor near a toilet, not all are easily repaired. So it falls to the staff maintaining the space to call in a plumber to locate the cause of the water on the floor and correct it. However, the management or maintenance staff are responsible for placing signs to warn guests of the added slip and fall hazard or eliminating access to the bathroom until the plumbing problem can be corrected.
The Common Injuries Sustained Due To A Toilet Leak Slip And Fall Accident
Any slip and fall accident has the potential to inflict severe injuries. However, those suffered in a bathroom are typically more severe due to the proximity of the porcelain commode, countertops, a tub or shower stall, corners on cabinetry, or the confined space in a public toilet stall. Some of the most common injuries or damage resulting in a slip and fall near a leaking toilet include:

• Back, neck, or spinal cord damage
• Head trauma, including a skull fracture, concussion, brain hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury
• Internal bleeding or damage to internal organs
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Fractured or broken bones
• Facial injuries, including damage to the eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, or skin
• Dislocated joints or damage to the soft connective tissue inside the joints

All of these injuries can be life-altering for the victim and their loved ones. Unfortunately, in many cases, the damage can never be fully corrected, leaving the victim with a lifetime of pain and medical treatment to manage their injuries and disabilities. Finally, the cost of the care can create added financial hardships and strain, increasing the potential for emotional trauma, depression, anxiety, and other complications.
Knowing When You Can File A Lawsuit
After suffering an injury due to a leaking toilet slip and fall incident, you are sure to wonder if you have reason to sue the hotel, motel, restaurant, venue, supermarket, or shopping mall where the injury accident occurred. And the simple answer to your question comes from the premises liability section of the law.

This portion of the law describes the obligation of property owners to provide a safe environment to guests, patrons, shoppers, or whoever is visiting the property with the owner’s legal consent. Property owners, renters, lessors, store owners, and other tenants are responsible for keeping the space safe and hazard-free. If they fail to inspect the property regularly for hazards, ignore obvious risks, or fail to repair issues correctly, they can be found to be in breach of their duty of care or negligent.

When another person’s negligence causes you to be injured, in many cases, you can file a lawsuit to recover damages. The staff at Kenmore Law Group will help you understand how premises liability could play a role in your legal matter as you discuss the details at your free consultation. Then you will have the information you need to make a wise and well-informed decision about moving forward with a lawsuit against the property owner, restaurant, store, hotel, or motel where your slip and fall accident occurred.
What Is The Actual Time Limit To File A Lawsuit?
As the victim of a personal injury in California, you have two years from the date of the injury to file your claim with the court system. If the case is not filed within two years, you will likely lose the right to make a claim. There are very few exceptions to the two-year Statute of Limitations. But if any apply to you and your case, the staff at Kenmore Law Group will explain them and why they might benefit you and your matter.

It is also essential to understand that there is no way to know how long a lawsuit will take to reach its completion. So the sooner you begin working with the experts at Kenmore Law Group, the sooner you will have the settlement or verdict you need to pay your bills and move past this challenging and upsetting event. Our staff will work diligently to ensure that we secure your compensation as quickly as possible to help reduce the financial hardships you must endure.
What Is The Value Of A Toilet Leak Slip And Fall Accident Lawsuit?
Many injury victims are under the misconception that there are specific lawsuit values or amounts that apply to particular injuries they might suffer. However, when you seek compensation through a lawsuit, you are actually asking that your expenses and losses be replaced or repaid to you. So many of the amounts that will create the final value of your lawsuit will come from your bills and losses in the following categories:

• Your medical expenses related to the slip and fall injuries
• The cost of your legal services for the lawsuit and representation by Kenmore Law Group
• Any lost wages if your injuries prevented you from working
• The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall incident

It is also common for injury victims to seek compensation based on their pain and suffering. In this situation, the experts at Kenmore Law Group will assist you in determining a fair and reasonable amount to include in your case.
