Hire Los Angeles Slip and Fall Lawyers

Slip and fall accidents are a type of premises liability claim in California. In slip and fall cases, to be entitled to any claims the accident must be because of another person’s negligence. Slip and falls occur for many reasons including, spills, leaks, uneven floors, construction sites, and most commonly the failure to put hazard signs. 

In California all property owners have a “duty to care” they must follow. Duty to care means that the property should not present any danger and if it does impose danger on anyone, the property owner is responsible for the damages. This means that, for example, when a fall happens inside of a grocery store the grocery store owner is responsible for any damages you sustain as a result of the fall. If you are involved in a slip and fall due to a hazardous condition on another’s property, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim.

Slip and fall accidents occur daily. Some of these accidents can have severe outcomes. If your slip and fall accident was caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party you may be eligible for financial recovery.

Slip and fall cases are categorized as a personal injury, therefore, they fall under the same statute of limitations that personal injury cases fall. In a slip and fall case, the injured party has two years from the date of the injury to settle the case or file a lawsuit for the fall. The statute of limitations for property damaged in a slip and fall is three years vs the two year limit for personal injuries. Property that may be damaged as a result of your fall can include electronics, cellphone, or your watch. The timeframe to file a slip and fall becomes shorter when your fall happens on property owned by the government. For example, if you were to fall due to an uneven sidewalk, you have only six months from the date of your fall to file a claim.
