Have You Been Injured In A Trip/Slip Fall

Slip and fall accidents are a common occurrence in California, often resulting in serious injuries and significant financial burden for victims. At E&R Law, we understand the complexities of slip and fall cases and are committed to providing support and advocacy to those who have been injured due to negligence.

Why Choose E&R Law?

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, from public sidewalks and shopping malls to private residences and workplaces. These accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to hazardous conditions such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, or debris obstructing walkways. While slip and fall accidents may seem minor, they can result in severe injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries, often requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Establishing Liability: In California, property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of any known hazards. When someone is injured in a slip and fall accident on another party’s property, liability may be established if the following conditions are met:

  1. The property owner or occupier knew or should have known about the hazardous condition.
  2. The property owner or occupier failed to take reasonable steps to address the hazard or provide adequate warning.
  3. The hazardous condition was the direct cause of the victim’s injuries.
 

It’s important to note that comparative negligence laws in California may affect the outcome of slip and fall cases. If the victim is found partially responsible for the accident, their compensation may be reduced accordingly.

Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall Accident: If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, it’s essential to take prompt action to protect your rights and preserve evidence. Follow these steps:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
  2. Report the accident to the property owner or manager and request a written incident report.
  3. Document the scene by taking photographs of the hazardous condition and any visible injuries.
  4. Obtain contact information from witnesses who may have observed the accident.
  5. Refrain from making any statements or signing any documents without consulting an attorney.
