In California, a slip and fall claim is a premises liability case where fault is determined by notice of hazards and the care taken to repair or warn of danger. If you were injured, you may be entitled to medical care and compensation for damages.
Liability can fall on property owners, managers, tenants, or maintenance staff depending on the circumstances and the source of the hazard.
California typically allows claims within two years for most personal injury cases, with some exceptions. Starting earlier can preserve rights.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non economic losses such as pain and suffering.
While you may be able to handle a claim on your own, legal counsel can help assess liability, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurers.
Fault is determined by who caused the hazard and whether proper care was taken to fix or warn against it.
Bring any photos, medical records, witness contacts, and police or incident reports to your initial consultation.
Most slip and fall claims can be resolved through negotiations, but some cases may go to trial if needed.
Settlements are reached through negotiation, often with medical documentation and evidence of liability and damages.
Partial fault could reduce your compensation, depending on the degree of fault assigned by the court or insurer.
