Becoming the victim of a personal injury incident can be very stressful and costly. Not all medical insurance provides great coverage that eliminates the added concern of costly medical bills. Some injury victims face a huge deductible that they must pay before their insurance will help with the cost of their injury treatment.

Who Is To Blame For Broken Chair Injuries?
When you purchase a chair or any item from a company, you have the right to expect it to be fully functional and in good working order. In the case of a chair that breaks soon after it is purchased, the issue could be related to a defect in the construction or the way the chair was assembled. There is also the potential for the chair to have been damaged during delivery. You could even discover that the company that sold you the chair was not the actual manufacturer. All of these options can add more stress and concern to your mind as you wonder if the issue will ever be resolved. But please know that when you hire Normandie Law Firm, our expert legal team will bring decades of expertise in these matters to the case and explore all of the options to inform you of whom to hold accountable for the chair failure and the injuries it caused you.
Are Broken Chair Injuries Severe?
There are never any absolutes in this world. Two people can experience identical incidents of chair failure, and the results for each could be drastically different. However, the ultimate responsibility for any harm would fall to the negligent party in constructing, delivering, or assembling the chair. So, the person who suffers the less severe harm has as much right to seek compensation for their injuries as the victim who was severely hurt and sustained one or more of these common broken chair injuries:
- Fractured or broken bones
- A compound fracture
- Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
- Joint dislocations and damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints
- Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that could also include internal bleeding and damage to internal organs
- Facial injuries that could involve damage to the delicate skin on the face, the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
- Head injuries that can include a severe concussion, skull fracture, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries
If you suffer any harm when you are the victim of a broken chair incident, please make getting a complete medical evaluation your priority. These incidents can cause serious injuries that are masked by the shock of the incident. But as you become less upset and calmer, you will begin to notice the pain, swelling, or other signs of an injury requiring immediate medical care. Once you have had all injuries treated and are assured you are medically stable, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm to discuss the incident and how we can help you understand who is to blame for the injuries you suffered and the cost of the chair and other expenses that you should be compensated for from the liable party.
What Is The Estimated Value Of A Broken Chair Lawsuit?
The average person might think that if they sue a chair manufacturer because a chair broke when they sat in it, they will only recover the cost of the chair. However, if you suffered injuries when you were sitting in the chair as it broke, you could receive a great deal more compensation than just the cost of the chair. As a personal injury victim, you have the right to seek compensation for the expenses and losses you suffered because of the injuries caused by the broken chair incident.
Working with your Normandie Law Firm personal injury legal team, you will gather all the documentation that verifies the expenses and losses you sustained because of the broken chair incident and the injuries it caused. These items will be used to calculate the amount of compensation you can seek via a personal injury lawsuit. Items most commonly used in this process include but are not always limited to:
- The cost of any personal property that was damaged in the broken chair incident
- All legal costs associated with preparing, filing, and litigating the broken chair injury lawsuit
- The cost of all current and projected medical care to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate the injuries suffered when the chair broke, as well as any therapy needed to address the stress or trauma caused by the incident
- Your lost income if the harm you suffered when the chair broke prevented to from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and the medical care professionals treating you cleared you to return to the duties of your job
In cases that result in severe injuries that require lengthy medical care and a long recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, such as a medical bill or lost wages, you will need to refer to the guidance of your Normandie Law Firm legal team to select a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the lawsuit compensation. Your legal team will review recently completed cases with similar details or injuries to ensure they provide you with a realistic amount that fully represents your pain and suffering and will also be deemed acceptable by the court.
What Is The Time Limit To File My Lawsuit Against The Furniture Company?
Because you are filing a personal injury lawsuit against the furniture company, you will have two years to get the case submitted to the court. This time limit is called the Statute of Limitations and applies to all cases filed with the court. You must understand that the Statute of Limitations is strictly enforced, and once the time limit expires, the victim no longer has the right to pursue legal action to secure compensation for the losses and expenses incurred by that specific incident. In addition, securing added time to file a lawsuit is very difficult once the original Statute of Limitations has expired. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss your case and the time remaining for you to decide if you want to file a lawsuit related to the broken chair incident and the injuries it caused.
No Added Stress Or Upfront Legal Fees At Normandie Law Firm
The team at Normandie Law Firm understands that when you suffer injuries, many stresses and worries can cloud your mind and prevent you from focusing fully on healing. Sadly, these costs can include upfront legal fees that many injury victims have no way to afford.
