RESPONSABILIDAD DE LAS INSTALACIONES

Todo el mundo recuerda los dibujos animados en los que alguien se resbala con una cáscara de plátano y se produce una hilaridad. Lo que queda fuera de estas caricaturas es ¿quién paga las facturas médicas, los salarios perdidos y el dolor y sufrimiento de la persona caída? Tener un equipo legal que esté completamente preparado para analizar los hechos relacionados con su resbalón y caída hace todo lo posible para obtener una compensación.

¿QUÉ HAY EN ESTA PÁGINA?

¿Qué causó la caída o la lesión?

Carolina del Norte exige que los visitantes, invitados, clientes, etc., ejerzan un cuidado razonable cuando se encuentren en la propiedad de una persona o empresa, y el propietario de la propiedad debe haber incumplido su deber de proporcionar un entorno seguro. Por eso es fundamental poder identificar qué provocó la caída.

Si no se puede identificar la causa de su caída, demostrar la culpa puede resultar complicado, pero no imposible. Si puede identificar qué causó la caída, ¿fue lo suficientemente abierta y obvia como para poder evitarla razonablemente? La ley no espera ni exige que usted camine con el mayor cuidado posible, pero sí espera que usted se maneje con cuidado. A continuación, necesita saber quién es responsable de lo que provocó su caída.

¿Quién es responsable de lo que causó la caída/lesión?

A veces es el dueño de la tienda. A veces es un vendedor en la tienda. Teniendo experiencia en estos casos es donde también se pueden ver resultados. Muchos abogados en Carolina del Norte ya no aceptan estos casos porque se han vuelto muy complejos. Sin embargo, los abogados de las Oficinas Legales de Jason E. Taylor escucharán su caso y evaluarán si podemos ayudarlo.

Con oficinas en Charlotte, Hickory, Concord y Rock Hill, y miembros del equipo que viven en Lenoir, Newton, Charlotte, Huntersville, Greenville y Columbia, por nombrar algunos, tenemos el conocimiento local para comprender mejor su caso.

No todas las caídas se generan por igual. Los hechos que rodean el caso de su local son extremadamente críticos para determinar si tiene un reclamo o no. Documente todo.

Reúna los hechos

Tome fotografías de la escena, averigüe qué causó su caída, si fue en una tienda, complete un informe con el gerente y solicite el informe, y escriba el nombre de todos los que estuvieron presentes. Cuanto más sepa sobre el accidente y cuanto antes lo sepa, mejor podremos analizar si tiene un reclamo viable.

Objetos que caen

La mayoría de la gente piensa que los casos de premisas ocurren cuando usted se resbala, tropieza y cae en la propiedad de alguien. Sin embargo, a veces algo más cae, rueda o choca contra usted mientras está en una tienda.

Si usted resulta lesionado por algo que cae sobre usted bajo el control exclusivo del dueño de la propiedad, se presume negligente. La carga de demostrar que no fueron negligentes recae sobre ellos. Sorprendentemente, esto sucede con más frecuencia de lo que piensas. Muchas tiendas grandes mantienen sus existencias en estantes altos hasta que las necesitan, y no siempre se apilan o aseguran adecuadamente.

Estas situaciones pueden provocar lesiones graves, ya que los objetos que caen suelen golpear primero la cabeza y el cuello de la persona. En este caso, los hechos siguen siendo vitales y debemos tomar las mismas medidas que en un resbalón y caída para presentar su caso de la mejor manera posible.

Buscar atención médica

Las lesiones de un caso local son tan variadas como los hechos que las rodean y van desde un ego magullado hasta ligamentos desgarrados, huesos rotos e incluso lesiones cerebrales traumáticas. Como ocurre con cualquier caso de lesiones personales, es imperativo buscar tratamiento si cree que algo anda mal. Debido a la gran variedad de lesiones, es posible que no sepas durante un día o más si algo anda mal. Ningún abogado puede decir si usted está herido o no. Este es un trabajo para un médico. Si crees que puede haber algo mal, lo mejor es que pienses primero en tu salud y después en tu caso.

Buscar ayuda legal

Aunque los casos de responsabilidad de locales son extremadamente complejos y a menudo deben litigarse, los abogados de las Oficinas Legales de Jason E. Taylor quieren conocer su caso para determinar si merece una compensación.

No hay excusa para un propietario negligente y una negligencia que resulte en lesiones a otra persona. Las compañías de seguros quieren esconderse detrás de leyes que no protegen adecuadamente a las personas lesionadas. Pero, si usted está lesionado y cree que alguien más puede tener la culpa, deje que los abogados de las Oficinas Legales de Jason E. Taylor determinen qué podemos hacer.

Notice of Data Security Event
Updated March 28, 2025

The Law Offices of Jason E. Taylor is providing notice of an event that may affect certain individuals’ information. Although we have no indication of identity theft or fraud in relation to this event, we are providing information about the event, our response, and additional measures individuals can take to help protect their information, should they feel it appropriate to do so.

What Happened? On October 28, 2024, The Law Offices of Jason E. Taylor identified suspicious activity related to our email system. We quickly took steps to investigate and determined that an unknown actor may have accessed certain emails within our email system between August 7 and November 7, 2024. We then conducted a comprehensive review of the potentially affected emails and attachments to determine what information was contained therein and to whom the information related, which was completed on February 25, 2025. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify the addresses of certain affected individuals, so we are providing this notice to ensure potentially affected individuals receive information about the event.

What Information Was Involved? The information affected may include individuals’ Social Security number, driver’s license and state ID information, financial account number, and health information.

What We Are Doing. We are notifying individuals about this matter and providing guidance about free resources that are available to assist with monitoring relevant accounts, credit reports, and how to place a fraud alert or security freeze on one’s credit file. Further, as with our typical security practices, we will continue to evaluate our policies, procedures, staff training, and technical security measures to reduce the likelihood of an event like this reoccurring.

What Individuals Can Do. We encourage you to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing your account statements and monitoring your free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors. We also recommend you review the below “Steps Individuals Can Take To Help Protect Personal Information”.

For More Information. If individuals have questions about this matter, we have a dedicated assistance line with agents ready to answer their questions. Please contact our toll-free dedicated assistance line at 1-800-939-4170, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. through 9 p.m., excluding holidays. You may also write to us at The Law Offices of Jason E. Taylor, Attn: Compliance, P.O. Box 2688, Hickory, NC 28603.

Sincerely,

The Law Offices of Jason E. Taylor

STEPS INDIVIDUALS CAN TAKE TO HELP PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

Monitor Your Accounts

Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Consumers may also directly contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of their credit report.

Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If consumers are the victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should consumers wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.

As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in a consumer’s name without consent. However, consumers should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in their credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application they make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, consumers cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on their credit report. To request a credit freeze, individuals may need to provide some or all of the following information:

1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth;
4. Addresses for the prior two to five years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, etc.); and
7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if they are a victim of identity theft.

Should consumers wish to place a credit freeze or fraud alert, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:

The Federal Trade Commission also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. Consumers can obtain further information on how to file such a complaint by way of the contact information listed above. Consumers have the right to file a police report if they ever experience identity theft or fraud. Please note that in order to file a report with law enforcement for identity theft, consumers will likely need to provide some proof that they have been a victim. Instances of known or suspected identity theft should also be reported to law enforcement and the relevant state attorney general. This notice has not been delayed by law enforcement.

STEPS INDIVIDUALS CAN TAKE TO HELP PROTECT A MINOR DEPENDENT’S PERSONAL INFORMATION

Typically, credit reporting agencies do not have a credit report in a minor’s name. To find out if a minor has a credit report or to request a manual search for a minor’s Social Security number each credit bureau has its own process. To learn more about these processes or request these services, consumers may contact the credit bureaus by phone, writing, or online:
