Michaels Craft Store Accident Injury Attorney

Many people think of stores like Home Depot and Lowes when it comes to DIY home renovations. The truth is, home decorating is just as important as major renovations, and stores like Michaels fulfill that need with a huge variety of crafts, art supplies, fabrics, and other decorative merchandise. Though Michaels is headquartered in Texas, most of their stores are located in California. In fact, the company has 134 locations throughout California, which accounts for 12% of all their retail stores.

When you walk into a craft store to shop for supplies, a painful accident is the last thing you would expect during your visit. But these incidents are very common at arts & craft stores due to the sheer volume of merchandise and the number of people on the premises at all times. Constant cleaning and monitoring of the store is essential to the prevention of serious accidents, such as:

• Trip and fall
• Slip and fall
• Injured by falling objects
• Accident in the parking lot
• Injuries from shopping carts
• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault

If you’ve been injured at a Michaels store due to a dangerous condition, please seek guidance from an accident injury attorney at our law firm. You may be owed monetary compensation from the store if they are responsible for your accident, which we can help you obtain through a personal injury lawsuit. Our legal experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so call us anytime to schedule a free case evaluation.

Common Injuries from an Accident at a Michaels Craft Store

As we’ve mentioned, you may be entitled to compensation from Michaels if you were harmed at one of their stores. Most of these injuries are physical in nature, but you may also have mental health issues due to the trauma from being in an accident. Here are some examples of the injuries you can sustain:

• Fractures / broken bones
• Deep lacerations
• Dislocated joints
• Neck injury
• Spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injury
• Rupturing / puncturing of the internal organs
• Permanent scars
• Infections from cuts and puncture wounds
• Damage to the ligaments and tendons
• Chronic pain
• Loss of function
• PTSD, sleep disorders, phobias, and other mental health disorders

If your injuries were caused by the store’s negligence, you can seek reimbursement for the losses you’ve suffered, which are known as “damages.” Medical expenses, lost wages / lost earning potential, and pain and suffering are just some of the damages you may be able to claim. To ensure that you receive the highest possible settlement from a Michaels accident injury claim, call us right away to speak with an attorney at our office.

Do I have The Right to Sue Michaels for my Accident?

Yes, you can sue Michaels for an accident on their property if their negligence caused you to suffer bodily harm. Negligence by a store refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care, which is usually exemplified by one of the following conditions:

• Failure to maintain the property, i.e., removing hazards or making repairs, for the purpose of making it reasonably safe.
• Placing warning signs, barriers, etc., for the purpose of alerting others to a dangerous situation.

To help you understand these points, here’s an example of negligence by an arts and crafts store:

A bottle of glycerin is dropped on the floor by a worker that’s stocking the shelves. The worker goes to get help for the spilled product, but fails to put up Wet Floor signs or anything else around the spill to indicate the hazardous condition. Because the glycerin is a clear, colorless substance, a shopper fails to see it in front of them and slips on the floor. Due the store’s failure to clean up the substance or give adequate warning of the hazard, they are liable for the customer’s injuries.

This is one of the more simplistic examples of how a store can be responsible for an accident on their premises. Many accident claims involve more complicated circumstances, especially cases like car accidents and assault and battery. That’s why working with an experienced personal injury attorney is always in your best interest, no matter what type of accident you’ve suffered.

Deadline to File a Lawsuit if You’ve been Injured at a Store

All legal actions have a deadline, known as the statute of limitations. This means you have a certain amount of time to sue Michaels for an accident on their property, which is normally 2 years from the day you were injured. Please be aware that it will be extremely difficult to proceed with a lawsuit if you miss the deadline to file an accident claim. That’s why it’s essential to contact a personal injury attorney and take immediate action on your case.

How Much Compensation can I Receive from my Lawsuit?

Answering this question requires a thorough examination of your accident and the financial losses you’ve sustained. In addition, we must consider your physical and psychological injuries, and how they’ve affected your life. Some claimants have relatively minor injuries that heal completely over time, while others lose their ability to work or perform basic tasks. Due to the variations that exist from case to case, an injury claim against Michaels may be worth anywhere from $30,000 to $3 million or more. Again, what you can receive from a lawsuit depends on your own circumstances, which you can discuss with one of our lawyers during a free consultation.

How Long is the Case Settlement Process?

Many accident victims want to know what the average timeline is to settle an accident injury lawsuit, but unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. Sometimes, a settlement can be reached very quickly, which is around 1 to 3 months. However, we often find that claims with serious injuries take longer to resolve – maybe around 6 to 12 months – since they are high value cases. If we end up going to trial due to the defendant’s refusal to negotiate in good faith, the process to recover your compensation award can take 2 years or longer.

Free Second Opinion Consultation

If you have a case that’s being handled by another law firm, perhaps you can benefit from a free second opinion with the lawyers of Normandie. It’s a good idea to check in with another lawyer before making an important decision, like agreeing to a settlement offer. However, you may have more serious issues with your case and feel that your attorney is not up to the task of representing you. Our attorneys are more than ready to discuss whatever is on your mind and advise you of your rights and legal options. For a 100% free second opinion consultation, please take a moment to contact our office.

Setting aside the funds to hire an attorney is not possible for most accident victims, due to their medical needs and being out of work for an extended period of time. If you are in this situation, allow us to put your mind at ease with the Zero Fee Guarantee. Our policy is to seek payment from the party that’s at fault for your accident. As a result, it’s Michaels that covers our expenses at the same time they pay out your accident claim. What happens if we don’t win your case?
