Our Miami personal injury lawyers have a track record of success in nail salon negligence cases and are ready to help you.

You May Qualify to File a Nail Salon Claim or Lawsuit if You Were Injured

Because nail services involve handling people’s hands and feet, these procedures require extensive hygienic practices, so workers and patrons can remain safe. Skin residue, bacteria, and bodily fluids can transfer disease via contact, so nail salons must stay on top of disinfecting their tools and cleaning their workspaces adequately. Consequences can involve severe infections and even death if nail salon workers aren’t careful.

According to Verywell Health, some of the most common infections that patrons can get after going to nail salons include:

• Fungal infections such as paronychia
• Bacterial infections such as mycobacterium fortuitum
• MRSA infection, a type of staph infection that can be difficult to treat
• Bloodborne diseases, such as HIV or hepatitis B or C
• Hand or foot warts caused by HPV

If you or a loved one suffered any of the above infections or contracted another disease or illness after getting nail services at a Miami salon, you may have grounds to sue the nail salon for compensation.

A Miami nail salon negligence attorney from our law firm can look into your case to see if negligence might have contributed to your injuries and discuss potential strategies to pursue financial awards on your behalf.

Our Miami Nail Salon Attorneys Will Fight for Your Right to Compensation

At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, our legal team has helped clients win six- and seven-figure verdicts and settlements for various personal injury cases, including nail salon negligence cases. If you are a victim of a negligent nail salon in Miami and suffered injuries as a result, you may qualify to demand compensation for various damages, such as:

• Medical expenses
• Income loss
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability
• Physical disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Reduced earning potential
• Diminished quality of life

This is not a complete list of damages you may pursue, as your case will include the unique damages you suffered. For example, if you developed an allergy to methacrylate due to improper curing of acrylic gel polish, this can prevent you from being able to interact with various medical products, such as implants or dentures, according to The Independent. This may mean seeking alternative treatments for medical care.

Our team will calculate how much compensation to seek on your behalf based on your damages and work to collect evidence to support our reasoning.

Nail Salons in Miami Must Abide by Floridian Disinfection Laws

Nail salons in Miami must follow state disinfection laws found in 61G5-20.002, which include the following standards:

• Nail salons must clean and disinfect tools between each use when serving patrons, meaning the technician must wash their tools with soap and water and then submerge those tools in disinfectant chemical solutions before reusing tools on another patron.
• Nail salons must use hospital-grade chemical solutions to disinfect their tools and keep them in clean, closed containers or ultra-violet irradiation boxes.
• Nail salon owners must replace and keep adequate numbers of tools in supply so that technicians can properly disinfect them between each use without disrupting or delaying appointments.
• Nail technicians must clean pedicure basins between each use and clean basin parts, such as filters and jets, at the end of each day.

If you noticed that a nail salon in Miami failed to comply with these standards when servicing you, you can report the salon to the Division of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR).
