Slip & Fall / Trip & Fall Accidents

image.png

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail, people get hurt. If you were injured in a slip, trip, or fall due to a hazardous condition, you may have a valid premises liability claim. Our attorneys have the experience to prove negligence and recover the compensation you deserve.

What Makes a Slip or Trip & Fall Case Valid?

To succeed in a slip or trip and fall case in California, we generally must establish that:

  • The property owner owned, leased, or controlled the property,

  • The owner was negligent in maintaining or managing the property,

  • You were harmed, and

  • That negligence was a substantial factor in causing your harm.

Common Hazardous Conditions That Cause Falls

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs

  • Uneven or cracked sidewalks and walkways

  • Broken or missing handrails

  • Poor or inadequate lighting

  • Cluttered or obstructed walkways

  • Loose or damaged flooring, carpeting, or mats

  • Unmarked elevation changes or drop-offs

Where These Accidents Commonly Occur

Retail Stores & Supermarkets

Spills, freshly mopped floors, and cluttered aisles are common hazards in grocery and retail environments. Stores have a duty to identify and correct these conditions promptly.

Apartment Complexes & Rental Properties

Landlords are responsible for maintaining common areas, stairways, and walkways in safe condition. Failure to do so may create significant liability.

Restaurants & Hotels

Wet entryways, slippery kitchen runoff, and uneven outdoor surfaces are frequent causes of serious falls in commercial hospitality settings.

Parking Lots & Sidewalks

Potholes, cracked asphalt, and improperly maintained walkways create dangerous conditions for pedestrians in parking areas.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

  • Medical bills and physical therapy costs

  • Lost wages and future earnings

  • Pain and suffering, including chronic or ongoing pain

  • Long-term disability or reduced mobility

  • Emotional distress
