A slip and fall claim is a legal dispute seeking compensation for injuries due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. Collect medical records, photos, and witness statements to support your claim.
California generally gives you two years to file a personal injury claim, with shorter deadlines in certain situations. It’s important to act promptly to preserve evidence.
While you can handle some minor claims on your own, a lawyer can help assess liability, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and protect deadlines.
Compensation can cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases future care costs.
Medical lien arrangements or the at-fault party’s insurer typically cover medical bills, though timing and coverage vary.
If you share fault for the accident, California uses a comparative negligence standard that may reduce your recovery.
Some cases settle without going to trial, while others go to trial if negotiations fail or if evidence supports a stronger claim.
Attorney fees are often a percentage of the recovery and may be paid only if you win or settle the case.
Bring any medical records, bills, photos of the hazard, witness contact information, and details about when and where the incident occurred.
It is possible to pursue a claim without a lawyer, but having one can improve the chances of a successful outcome.
