When Unsafe Business Interiors Cause Serious Harm, You Deserve Answers—and Compensation.
Customers expect businesses, like restaurants, stores, nightclubs, and hotels, to maintain safe interiors. But when broken glass, unstable furniture, or defective fixtures are ignored, guests can suffer painful and disfiguring injuries.
At Williford Law, PLLC, we help clients in [City] and throughout Texas hold negligent businesses accountable when dangerous conditions cause harm. Whether your injury was caused by a shattered window, collapsing chair, falling mirror, or cracked light fixture, we’re here to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
Can You Sue a Business for Broken Fixtures or Furniture?
Yes. Texas law holds property owners and business operators liable for dangerous conditions they knew or should have known about.
| Hazard | Duty of the Business |
| Broken glass (tables, mirrors, windows) | Replace or rope off immediately; warn guests |
| Unstable chairs, stools, or booths | Inspect regularly and remove damaged seating |
| Loose shelves or light fixtures | Secure or repair before they fall or collapse |
| Damaged décor or displays | Maintain safe conditions and conduct routine inspections |
If the hazard was unaddressed, not properly repaired, or caused by low-quality materials, the business may be liable for premises negligence or negligent maintenance.
Where These Accidents Commonly Occur
We’ve handled injury claims arising from:
- Bars and nightclubs (broken bottles, glassware, wall mirrors)
- Retail stores (falling display shelves, cracked glass panels)
- Restaurants and cafes (unstable tables, torn seating, broken booths)
- Hotels and resorts (defective furnishings, collapsing patio furniture)
- Grocery stores (glass freezer doors, display cases)
- Hair salons or spas (mirrors, basins, rolling stools)
Common Injuries Caused by Interior Hazards
These accidents often result in more than just cuts or bruises. We represent clients who have suffered:
- Deep lacerations and scarring from broken glass
- Permanent disfigurement or nerve damage
- Eye injuries or vision loss (from shattered bottles or mirrors)
- Concussions or head trauma (from falling fixtures)
- Spinal or back injuries (from collapsing chairs or furniture)
- Infections or complications from deep wounds
- PTSD or anxiety about returning to public spaces
Our team works with medical professionals to fully evaluate the physical and emotional impact of your injury.
Who May Be Liable?
| Party | Legal Responsibility |
| Business owner | Maintain safe conditions, inspect for damage, warn patrons |
| Property management company | Responsible for structural fixtures and furniture |
| Staff or employees | Required to report or address known hazards |
| Manufacturers | If the item was defectively designed or constructed |
We investigate maintenance logs, inspection records, and prior complaints to uncover negligence and build a strong case.
What to Do If You’re Injured by a Broken Fixture or Glass
- Report the incident to management immediately
- Take photos of the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area
- Request a copy of any internal incident report
- Get medical attention, especially if you were cut or struck
- Do not sign any documents or give statements without speaking to a lawyer
Prompt legal action can help preserve evidence (like surveillance footage or employee logs) before it’s altered or deleted.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured due to a business’s failure to maintain safe premises, you may be entitled to:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Plastic surgery or scar revision
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross neglect)
At Williford Law, we push for maximum compensation, not minimal settlements.
