Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury claims, often resulting in serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and back injuries. These accidents can occur in a variety of places, from grocery stores and restaurants to private homes and public sidewalks. At California Trial Law Group, we specialize in slip and fall cases and work to hold property owners accountable for failing to maintain safe conditions.
Slip and fall cases are a type of premises liability claim, where the injured party must prove that the property owner’s negligence directly caused the injury. This can involve proving that the owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it in a reasonable amount of time. Our firm meticulously investigates the circumstances of your fall, gathering evidence such as maintenance records, surveillance footage, and witness testimony.
One of the key challenges in slip and fall cases is establishing liability. Property owners and their insurers often try to argue that the victim was responsible for their own injury, either by not paying attention or by disregarding warning signs. We have extensive experience countering these arguments and proving that the property owner was indeed negligent.
The injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents can lead to significant medical expenses and lost wages, especially if surgery or long-term rehabilitation is required. Our goal is to ensure that you are fully compensated for all of your losses, including future medical costs and the pain and suffering caused by the accident.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
In addition to physical injuries, slip and fall victims often face emotional trauma and a loss of independence, particularly if their injuries prevent them from returning to work or engaging in their usual activities. We take all of these factors into account when calculating the appropriate amount of compensation for your case.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, it’s important to act quickly. Evidence can disappear, and property owners may take steps to fix the hazard after the accident. By contacting California Trial Law Group as soon as possible, we can begin investigating your case and building a strong claim for compensation.
