A slip and fall claim arises when a hazard on someone else’s property causes an injury, such as a wet surface, uneven flooring, or obstructed walkways.
Key elements include establishing duty of care, breach, damages, and a causal link. The process typically starts with a consultation, investigation, document collection, demand letters, negotiations, and potential court action.
This glossary explains common terms used in slip and fall cases to help you follow the process.
A property owner or manager has a duty to keep premises reasonably safe for visitors.

Begin by seeking medical attention and documenting the scene. Take photographs and note the location, time, and any witnesses. Then contact a slip and fall attorney to review your options and next steps.
In California, most personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations, though some exceptions apply. Acting promptly helps protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Medical bills are typically covered by the at-fault party’s insurance or through damages awarded in a settlement or verdict. In some cases, doctors may work on a lien or hospital programs until resolution.
Damages commonly include medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. Each case varies based on injuries and impact on daily life.
You may not need a lawyer for every slip and fall, but having one can help ensure proper documentation, negotiation, and adherence to deadlines.
Fault is determined by whether the property owner or manager failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment, and whether that failure caused your injury.
Premises liability is the legal responsibility of property owners to prevent harm to visitors through safe maintenance and warnings of hazards.
Bring photos of the scene, medical records, list of witnesses, insurance information, and any correspondence related to the incident.
Many slip and fall cases settle before trial, but some proceed to mediation or court if a fair resolution isn’t reached.
Costs vary; many personal injury cases use a contingency fee arrangement, meaning you pay attorney fees only if you win or settle your claim.
