A slip and fall claim is a premises liability case where property owners must maintain safe conditions. When a hazard causes injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical care, time off work, and other losses.
Investigating the incident, collecting evidence, consulting medical professionals, and negotiating with insurers are essential steps in every slip and fall case.
Key terms used in slip and fall cases include premises liability, negligence, duty of care, and comparative fault. Here are brief definitions.
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal duty to keep floors, stairs, and common areas reasonably safe and free from hazards.
Duty of care is the obligation to act with reasonable care to prevent harm to others.
A slip and fall injury results from wet, uneven, or obstructed walking surfaces that cause someone to slip, trip, or fall.
In California, most slip and fall claims must be filed within two years from the injury date, with exceptions for government entities and other special cases.
We review your options, including settlement negotiations, mediation, and litigation, to identify the path that best fits your needs.
For minor injuries and straightforward fault, negotiated settlements can be the fastest route to fair compensation.
