A slip and fall claim arises when hazardous conditions on someone else’s property cause an injury. California premises liability rules determine who may be liable and under what circumstances.
Proving your case typically requires showing duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, followed by an investigation, negotiation, and potential litigation.
This glossary explains commonly used terms in slip and fall cases and what they mean for your claim.
Negligence means failing to use reasonable care that results in harm to another person, including hazardous conditions that should have been addressed.
Premises liability describes the responsibility of property owners to keep walkways and spaces safe for visitors and to warn about hazards.
Damages refer to the compensation owed for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering resulting from the injury.
In California, most slip and fall claims must be filed within a certain time after the injury, or the right to sue may be lost.
In many slip and fall cases, options include negotiating with insurers, filing a claim, or pursuing litigation to obtain fair compensation.
If liability is clear and damages are straightforward, a quicker resolution may be possible.
