Looking Out The Window Another Wrongful Death Claim In the Waiting
Saturday, 5 June 2010
Most if not all of us assume our homes are safe. If you happen to live in a two story house or an apartment complex you have windows. They appear to be safe, but I see my child climbing on a chair looking down demanding the attention of his sibling, I can see how a careless babysitter can allow your child to plummet to his death. That would not necessarily result in the need to hire a local orange county wrongful death lawyer, especially if it happens that the babysitter is a 16 year old. In such a case, there is nothing you can do, you child’s death would be without any type justice no criminal prosecution no civil liability. Perhaps the babysitter would suffer a mental scar for the rest of her life. In some cases the windows have other problems, sometimes they are too old and child suffers serious injuries upon impact or falls out upon impact with a window. Sometimes the windows are too low. Sometimes they are sliding doors that collapse or break. Sometimes it is balcony that collapses and several persons are injured instantly. On occasion a floor collapses causing injury those on the higher floor as well as the those in the lower floor. A lawyer cannot heal or undo what has done and can’t only work with what is available under the law. In a perfect world the ground would be spongy and you would not feel fear, but would looking forward to bouncing on it. A lawyer would heal and undo and put you back to where you should be.
