- Improper installation or malfunction can cause doors to come off the tracks making glass shatter and inflicting lacerations.
Regardless of how your injuries occurred, it is important you seek medical attention immediately following your automatic door accident. Your medical needs should be assessed after an accident both for your own safety and to establish a legal record for later.
Types of Injuries from Automatic Door Accidents

- Cuts or lacerations
- Sprained or torn ligaments, tendons, or muscles
- Broken bones
- Mild concussion to severe traumatic brain injury
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
Some of these injuries might require occupational therapy, physical therapy, or rehabilitation depending on the severity of your injury and how it is impacting your daily functioning. It is crucial you seek the medical treatment you need in order to begin your recovery process.
Proper Maintenance Can Help Prevent Automatic Door Injuries
Automatic door injuries commonly happened because of a lack of maintenance. If the party responsible fails to regularly and properly inspect the door then they are unable to identify and fix common issues from wear and tear, and issues with sensors and buttons. Complications with motor speed and door malfunctions are also missed when regular maintenance is ignored.
When you hire a member of our team, we will determine how your accident happened and hold the liable party responsible.
