New Jersey Lawyer:
Injuries Caused by Falling Objects
It is amazing — a building center invites customers into aisles lined by merchandise stacked high on warehouse pallet racks. It seems almost certain that a customer will suffer a serious or fatal head injury when hit by a falling pallet. Similarly, when a building contractor working on the exterior of a commercial building fails to put construction barriers or tape around the work area, it is no surprise if a passerby is hit by falling debris.
A falling object is always the result of negligence
The tool a construction worker drops from a ladder or the box falling from a stack in a supermarket or other retail store is clearly the result of negligence, and the pedestrian or customer who suffers a traumatic brain injury or back injury is entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim.
