Understanding Premises Liability & California's Duty Of Care
California law imposes a duty of care on property owners to maintain their premises reasonably safe for visitors. If a property owner becomes aware of a hazardous condition, they must take prompt action to fix the issue or warn visitors of the potential danger. When they fail to meet this responsibility, they may be held liable for injuries caused by their negligence.
We have extensive experience handling premises liability claims and ensuring property owners are held accountable when their actions - or inactions - lead to harm.
Common Causes Of Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Slip-and-fall accidents can occur in many settings, from grocery stores to apartment complexes, and are often the result of negligent property maintenance, including:
- Wet or Slippery Surfaces: Excessive water on floors, pool decks, or walkways.
- Spills in Retail Stores: Failure to promptly clean or warn about slippery conditions.
- Loose Rugs and Carpets: Creating tripping hazards.
- Foreign Objects: Items left in walkways causing accidents.
- Uneven Flooring: Broken tiles or surfaces creating dangerous conditions.
These accidents can result in serious injuries, including head trauma, fractures, spinal injuries, and more. Our attorneys are ready to help recover the compensation for you to move forward.
Filing A Slip-and-Fall Insurance Claim
Many property owners carry liability insurance to cover accidents on their premises. However, navigating an insurance claim can be complicated, as insurers often attempt to minimize payouts or deny valid claims. Our attorneys are committed to protecting your rights and treating you fairly throughout the claims process:
- Handle all communication with the insurance company.
- Gather evidence, including photos, witness statements, and medical records, to support your claim.
- Negotiate aggressively to secure a fair settlement.
- Take your case to trial if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.
Assistance With Medical Treatment
Recovering from a slip-and-fall injury often involves significant medical expenses. If you're unable to afford upfront treatment costs, we can help:
- Connect you with experienced medical specialists to address your specific injuries.
- Arrange for a medical lien, allowing your treatment to proceed while deferring payment until your case is resolved.
Additionally, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we secure compensation. This ensures you can focus on your recovery without worrying about legal fees.
