Frequently Asked Questions

What is a slip and fall claim?

A slip and fall claim seeks compensation for injuries caused by a dangerous condition. Proving negligence is essential. Evidence such as photos, witness statements and medical records helps establish liability and damages.

In California you typically have two years from the injury date to file a personal injury claim. There are exceptions for government claims and other special cases, so a prompt review is important.

Yes, fault can be shared under California comparative negligence rules. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault and we help explain how this affects your claim.

You may recover medical expenses, wage loss and non economic damages such as pain and suffering depending on the evidence and the laws in your area. Punitive damages are not common in slip and fall cases.

Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation and work on a contingency basis, meaning you typically do not pay upfront costs unless you recover compensation.

Caseloads vary. Some claims resolve in months with a fair settlement, while more complex cases may take longer if litigation becomes necessary.

Bring photos or videos, incident details, medical records, witness contact information and any insurer correspondence to a free consultation.

Yes, a case can go to trial if negotiations do not yield a satisfactory settlement. We will discuss options in your consultation.
