Slip and fall cases arise when a property owner or occupier fails to maintain safe conditions, resulting in an injury to a visitor.
In California, premises liability law sets a standard of care and allows you to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost earnings, and other damages caused by the fall.
A slip and fall claim is a premises liability matter that asks whether the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused you to suffer damages as a result.
The core elements are duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically includes investigation, evidence gathering, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, filing a lawsuit.
This glossary defines terms commonly used in slip and fall cases to help you follow the claim process.
