Stipe Law Firm Is Here to Protect Your Rights
Falling object accidents are sudden, dangerous, and often completely preventable. Whether you were hurt at work, in a retail store, on a construction site, or anywhere a property owner failed to maintain a safe environment, Stipe Law Firm is here to help. Our McAlester personal injury attorneys have decades of combined experience representing individuals who have suffered serious injuries because someone else failed to take proper safety measures. When a falling object turns your life upside down, you deserve a legal team that understands the law, understands Oklahoma workers, and fights relentlessly for your recovery.
Common Causes of Falling Object Injuries
A falling object accident can happen in seconds, but the consequences can last months, years, or a lifetime. These incidents often occur due to:
- Improperly stacked boxes, merchandise, or materials
- Unsecured tools or equipment on elevated surfaces
- Construction site debris
- Defective shelving or poorly maintained structures
- Crane, forklift, or hoist failures
- Negligent workers or inadequate supervision
- Lack of safety barriers or warning signs
Many of these causes point directly to human error, lack of training, or failure to follow safety protocols. Stipe Law Firm investigates every detail of what happened and identifies every responsible party.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Falling Objects
The force of a falling object can cause catastrophic harm. Clients often come to us with injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Concussions
- Neck, back, and spinal injuries
- Fractures and crushed bones
- Facial injuries
- Shoulder and joint trauma
- Internal injuries
Even a seemingly “minor” incident can lead to long-term pain, medical complications, and financial struggles. Our team fights to ensure your injuries are fully recognized and compensated.
Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Claims
If your injury happened on the job, you may qualify for Oklahoma workers’ compensation benefits. However, many falling object cases also involve third-party liability—meaning someone outside your employer may be responsible, such as a contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner.
Stipe Law Firm handles both avenues:
- Filing and managing your workers’ compensation claim
- Pursuing additional compensation from negligent third parties
- Coordinating medical evidence and documentation
- Protecting you from insurance company tactics
- Ensuring no one minimizes your injuries or your rights
We work to maximize every possible source of recovery.
What Compensation May Be Available?
Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Future treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost income
- Reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent impairment
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages for surviving families
Our attorneys build strong, evidence-based cases that fully reflect the impact the accident has had on your health, your work, and your future.
What to Do After a Falling Object Injury
Taking the right steps early can make a significant difference in your case. If possible:
