Garage sales, common occurrences throughout the year especially when homeowners prepare to sell their homes, could leave homeowners with an unwanted lawsuit.

The homeowner hosting the garage sale is responsible should an injury occur to one of the patrons during the sale.

If a homeowner hosts a one time garage, most home owners insurance policies will cover any injuries but if you’re a homeowner who frequently oversees garage sales for the purpose of an extra income, your homeowners coverage might not cover injuries that occur during the sale events.

Homeowners’ coverage may also not cover you if you sell your items at a swap meet or flea market.

The Law Offices of Estey & Bomberger have represented clients who have been injured in personal injury cases arising from negligence during a garage sale or flea market. If you have been injured in such an accident or purchased an item that is unsafe or hazardous and you suffered an injury because of that item’s hazardous state, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, pain, suffering and lost wages.
