Garage Door Accidents

The U.S. Product Consumer Safety Commission reports that 20,000 people are hurt in garage door-related accidents every year. Garage doors may seem totally harmless, but when they are improperly built or maintained, they can pose a great risk to those who use them. Sometimes, garage doors collapse on people as they as walking below them, causing several types of injuries. If this garage door is on someone else’s property, premises liability laws say that if you get injured there, you may sue the property owner. If you or a loved one has been injured in a garage door accident on someone else’s property, then you may consider filing a premises liability lawsuit.

A garage door can malfunction or be improperly maintained, resulting in injury if the door collapses downward or if people’s limbs or extremities get caught underneath the door. These accidents can cause fractured or broken bones, bruising, concussions, traumatic brain injury, pinched joints, and possibly even death. There may be other losses that you incur from this accident, such as missing work or medical expenses. These can be recovered in a successful garage door accident claim.

To determine who is liable, it depends on the circumstances of the case. You could sue the manufacturer of the garage door if the door is fundamentally defective and built improperly. If the garage door was not thoroughly and regularly inspected and maintained, you could sue the landlord of the property for failing to uphold his duty of safety to his residents and users. Either way, your injury was uncalled for and not your fault. You deserve to be compensated for your losses.
