All property should be ensured to be safe for others to be in and use. When a property owner fails to maintain and control their space and they have a protruding object on their property, someone can get seriously injured. If you or a loved one has been injured in a protruding object accident, contact us to help you get justice for yourself and be compensated for your damages.

Protruding object accidents are typically slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents. This is when one’s property has an object obstructing a walkway or an area of expected traffic. A protruding object could be a tree branch, fallen objects from the ceiling, protruding floorboards, defective stairs, and much more. If it was not a clear walkway, and this object should have been removed for the safety of others, it should be considered a protruding object.

Even worse, these protruding objects can cause serious harm to others. One can suffer injuries including  a concussion, broken or fractured bones, cuts and scrapes, and bruising. These types of injuries can rack up a lot in medical expenses to treat, which is why you deserve to get the chance at justice against the responsible party.

Property owners have a duty to keep anyone (besides trespassers in some cases) that enters their property safe and unharmed. The breach of this duty by not maintaining or inspecting their property means that they can be held liable if someone gets injured there. If they left a protruding object on their property and you were injured for it, they can be sued. Their responsibility may be more debatable if there was a “Warning” or “Caution” sign on the premises referencing the object, however an attorney will assist you in determining the liability in that case.
