Injuries Caused By Falling Merchandise
Falling merchandise can cause a variety of injuries, the severity of which varies on a case-by-case basis. Typically, things like the weight and size of the falling object, the number of objects that fall, the height from which an object falls, and the angle of impact on the victim all play a role in severity. Some injury types include head, neck, and traumatic brain injury, bone fracture injuries, soft tissue injuries, especially when the falling object results in the victim falling, and bruises and lacerations.
If injuries are especially serious, the affected individual may suffer long-term impairment.
Who’s Liable for a Falling Merchandise Injury?
Understanding one’s rights after an injury due to falling merchandise can be confusing, and some people may even assume that they have no legal recourse. However, Austin premises liability law holds that property owners are responsible for maintaining their properties in a reasonably safe condition, and that when an unsafe condition on a property exists and causes another person harm, the property owner can be held liable for damages.

It can be hard to determine exactly who’s to blame for falling merchandise. In some cases, products may have been improperly stacked, making them dangerous and at risk of falling. In other cases, shelving may be defective or poorly installed. And yet in other cases, the merchandise falls as a result of another customer’s action, such as trying to obtain merchandise that is beyond reach. Our Austin lawyers can open an investigation into your case to determine who’s to blame and who should be held liable for your falling products injuries.
It’s Important that You Act Quickly
When you have suffered an injury as a result of falling store items, it’s important to act quickly to seek medical care, inform the property owner (store) of your injuries, and call an attorney. If you wait too long to take action, you can be barred from recovery. In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a falling merchandise claim
is two years from the date of injury.
