Baby’s cracked skull and brain injury leads to lawsuit by Landau Law Shop against staircase installer, manufacturer, seller and contractor
Posted by: Doug in Children's Claims, Defective Products, Negligence Cases, Premises liability, Slip and Fall Accidents, Taking Care of FamilyIn this case, which arose about a mile from the Landau Law Shop, an au pair was carrying a baby down the steps of their Herndon home.When the babysitter was a little more than half way down the stairs, the edge of the step cracked beneath her, causing her to fall down the stairs. Not only was the babysitter injured, but the baby fell into the wall and landing below. Herndon head and brain injury lawyer Doug Landau’s infant client suffered bruising, a head bleed, and a fractured skull. From this one fall that caused an innocent infant’s cracked skull and brain injury, the Abrams Landau trial team’s investigation revealed that there were 4 potential Defendants who were responsible for the child’s injuries. The national “big box retailer” from whom the steps were purchased by the child’s mother; the Carpet and Flooring company from Loudoun County that was to install them; the sub-contractor that actually performed the work and laminating; and the maker of the “ready to sell” pre-finished hardwood staircase that manufactured the stairs and placed them into the stream of commerce. Doug Landau visited the injured child’s home, made measurements, interviewed witnesses, retained an expert witness to discuss the engineering and construction aspects of the case and filed the lawsuit on behalf of the brain injured infant. In fact, Abrams Landau, Ltd. filed suit on behalf of both plaintiffs against all four defendants.
