Injuries from falling objects or equipment can happen suddenly and without warning—leaving victims with serious physical harm and long-term consequences. Whether it occurs on a construction site, in a warehouse, or in a public space, these types of accidents are often the result of negligence. If you’ve been injured by a falling object, Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC is here to help you hold the responsible party accountable and recover the compensation you deserve.

When heavy tools, construction materials, or equipment fall from above, the impact can cause significant trauma. Victims may be walking below scaffolding, working in a hazardous area, or simply visiting a location that wasn’t properly secured.

Common injuries from falling objects include:

Some of these injuries require emergency care, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. In severe cases, they can result in permanent disability or loss of life.

These incidents are often preventable. They usually occur because of improper planning, careless behavior, or lack of safety measures. Some of the most frequent causes include:

When these hazards exist and a person is injured as a result, property owners, employers, contractors, or equipment manufacturers may be legally responsible.

Determining who is at fault in a falling object case depends on where and how the accident happened. If the injury occurred on the job, workers’ compensation may cover your medical bills—but if a third party’s negligence contributed to the injury, you may also have a personal injury claim. In retail stores or public areas, business owners have a duty to ensure their premises are safe for visitors.

Attorney Scott M. Blumen investigates every detail of your case, gathering evidence such as video footage, maintenance records, and witness statements to determine liability and build a strong claim.
