Automatic Door Accidents
Many of us go through automatic doors just about every day without a second thought. As it turns out, hundreds of automatic door accidents occur every year. Many of these can even cause severe injuries from the many variations of automatic doors that there are. If you have been injured in an automatic door accident, the premises that it occurred on could be liable for your personal injury case, and we will help you along the way.
What types of automatic door injuries typically occur?
There are many types of automatic door accidents that injure people yearly. More commonly seen, the horizontally sliding automatic doors that you usually see outside of a large supermarket or department store can cause damage in an accident. These operate with a sensor that opens with a movement approach. People often walk through, expecting it to open only for them to close just as they walk through. Given that they are automatic, this malfunction strikes a person and knocks them over. Even worse, the glass on some of these doors can shatter above you and possibly cause lacerations from cut glass. These doors can also fail to sense your movement at all, causing you to hit your head and body against it. This can cause blunt force injuries or a concussion.
Another accident that automatic doors cause is from garage doors. For instance, if a car repair shop’s large garage door does not stop when it senses movement below it, it can crush a person and break bones, cause bruising, and more. Or perhaps worse, the garage can unexpectedly collapse on a person, causing an even more uncontrollable force to strike them from above. In either case, both can cause serious injuries of broken bones or even permanent or temporary physical disabilities.
Who is to blame?
Automatic doors should be thoroughly inspected for safety and ensured that they are safe for everyday use. These department stores that utilize automatic doors take in hundreds or thousands of customers a day, so they should take the necessary measures to ensure their safety. They have a duty of care to anyone entering the premises, and thus should be held accountable for any shortcomings on their part, especially if they cause serious injury.
