I was Pushed and Fell Down. Can I Sue?

Yes, you could have grounds to sue. Many people mistakenly believe that they can only sue for injuries if they were punched, kicked, or beaten. However, a push may be considered assault. If you or a loved one were pushed by a security guard and fell down, for example, you might have grounds to sue for resulting injuries. Similarly, you may be able to sue if you or a loved one were pushed by a retail store employee and fell down. The same applies if you were pushed by the store owner or a store manager. No matter who pushed you, you could potentially file an injury claim if the push caused you to fall and left you with injuries.

If you are ready to explore the legal options available to you, contact the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. The team here at the Normandie Law Firm has decades of experience handling all sorts of injury claims. Our team is fully committed to fighting for the rights of victims and their families – and doing everything within our reach to get our clients the maximum recovery available for their claims.

Possible Injuries resulting from being Pushed and Falling Down

Falling down after being pushed could lead to multiple injuries. Some of these injuries could include the following:

• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries, potentially leading to paralysis
• Shoulder injuries
• Hip injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Knee injuries
• Fractures
• Dislocations

Although pushing might seem like a minor thing, the act can cause the victim to fall and potentially sustain serious injuries. Some injuries can cause temporary or permanent disability. Other injuries can potentially be life-threatening. No matter the injuries that you or a loved one suffered after being pushed by a security guard or a retail store employee/manager, it is important to know that you may have the right to pursue a claim for the harm suffered.

Can I Sue?

Can I sue if I was pushed and suffered injuries as a result? Yes, if you were pushed by a retail store employee, a store manager, a store owner, or even a security guard and fell, you could sue for your injuries. You could sue the property owner for the harm that you suffered. In general, property owners are responsible for the harm that their guests suffer on their premises based on the concept of premise liability. However, property owners (which are usually also employers) may also be liable based on the concept of vicarious liability – which states that employers are responsible for the actions of their employees.

If you are unsure of your right to sue, we urge you to seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. Our team is ready to evaluate your claim and provide you with the guidance that you need to take action and fight for your rights.

Can I Recover Compensation?

Yes – you could recover compensation if you suffered injuries after a security guard, retail store employee, manager, or owner pushed you and caused you to fall. Although every claim is different, some of the compensation available for recovery could include the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

Here at our law firm, our lawyers are committed to getting our clients the maximum compensation available for their claims – whether this means negotiating a settlement or reaching a verdict in trial. If you have any questions surrounding the possible value of your claim, the average value of claims similar to yours, or even the time that it could take to resolve your claim and reach a payout, contact us today. Our lawyers are ready to answer all your questions and do everything necessary to ensure that you are awarded the payout that you are owed.

How Long Do I Have to Sue?

In the state of California, all personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims on time, then they run the risk of losing their right to sue entirely. We understand that it could sometimes be difficult for victims to come forward and reach out to a legal team to start the legal process. Others might mistakenly believe that they have a longer time to take action.

Do not risk losing the right to sue. Find a lawyer to help you with your claim as soon as possible.
