Slip and Fall

In California, slip and fall accidents are subject to strict property maintenance regulations. If you’ve experienced injuries due to slipping or tripping on someone else’s property, you may be eligible for comprehensive compensation. This includes coverage for medical bills, future medical expenses, pain and suffering, income loss, and other injury-related costs. Protect your rights and seek the compensation you deserve for slip and fall incidents in California.

COMPENSATION YOU MIGHT BE ENTITLED TO

WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR FALL

Falling at somebody else’s place, especially in front of others, can be devastating, embarrassing, and painful. If you feel injured, immediately seek medical help after an incident. Most people underestimate the seriousness of their injuries due to the emotional state.
After seeking medical help, always ask for the documentations of records and bills of your treatments. Typically, there will be a brief waiting period until the medical assistance arrives. During this time, it is best to follow the store’s procedure of accidents. You must request an accident form from big stores that they will assist you to complete. Make sure you state all the facts as to what happened, what you observed, and all the body areas that are hurting. Never admit to liability or partial liability to anybody.

You should try to collect the following information while you are still at the scene:

  • Name, phone numbers, and addresses of all the employees who you communicated with
  • Name, phone numbers, and addresses of all the managers
  • Name, phone numbers, and addresses of all potential witnesses
  • Business cards
  • Photographs of the scene, spill/object, persons, and your injuries

It is crucial, especially in slip and fall cases, to diligently document the incident in specific detail as soon as possible. Clients often tend to forget important details after a few weeks. Therefore, take a moment to journal the events accurately.

Your next important step is to consult with a skilled slip and fall attorney specializing in premise liability. Having a lawyer as your intermediary between you, the store, and the insurance companies is essential. Once you have retained legal representation, you have the right to decline discussions with insurance company adjustors, avoid providing oral statements in certain circumstances, or have your attorney present to safeguard your interests during all conversations with others.

SHOULD YOU FILE A PREMISE LIABILITY CLAIM/LAWSUIT?

In slip and fall cases, it’s important to understand that California follows the principle of pure comparative negligence. This means that even if you are partially at fault for the incident, you may still be eligible for compensation. The court or jury will assess the damages awarded to you and reduce them by the percentage of fault attributed to you. The resulting reduced amount will be your final settlement.

This system ensures that if you have suffered injuries on someone else’s property or a public premises, regardless of whether you believe you should have been more careful, you may still have a valid claim for compensation.
