Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers in Los Angeles
|
Far too many people, millions every year, slip, trip, or fall and have an
injury possibly resulting in broken
bones, lacerations, brain
and head, or even spinal cord injuries.
Whether or not one of these injuries is what's commonly called a "slip
and fall" injury depends, to a large part, on who is at fault. When
the property owner knew, or should have known, about the hazardous condition
on their property, they may be liable, especially if they did nothing to
prevent it.

Slipping on a spill or tripping over an obstacle,
by itself, does not necessarily mean that
the property owner is liable for your injuries.
If they took steps, such as placing a yellow
hazard sign on a wet floor, or if the spill
just happened and no one had time to correct
the condition, it will hard to prove the property
owner was negligent.

fall injuries
The laws relating to slip and fall injuries
are complex, and an experienced personal injury
lawyer will help you detrmine the merits of
your case. To help you figure out if who is
at fault, you may want to ask yourself the
following questions:
Was the slip and fall caused by poor or dim
lighting?
Had the spill been on the floor long enough
that the property owner would have known about
it?
If you tripped over an obstacle, was there
a good reason for it to be there or could
it have been someplace safer?
Did you have a valid reason to be where the
slip and fall happened?
Were the hazards in the area, if any, properly
labeled?
Would a "reasonable person" have
been able to avoid the slip and fall accident?
In general, the owner of the property is considered to have knowledge of
a dangerous or hazardous condition if it's a permanent one, like a broken
step, or if they created it themselves and were aware of the possible dangers
including wrongful death of an
innocent visitor. However, a qualified attorney with personal injury experience
can help decide the liability in your particular case.
It's best to consult with us, and if the injury
wasn't your fault, we'll stand by you every
step of the way in your case. While you concentrate
