HOW A TRIP AND FALL INCIDENTS ATTORNEY CAN HELP

Navigating a trip and fall claim can be complex and time-consuming. You'll need to gather evidence to support your claim of negligence and negotiate with the parties responsible for your injuries. This process can be particularly challenging without specialized legal training. Many insurance companies may use stall tactics to deny or delay your claim.

Having an experienced trip and fall incidents lawyer by your side can make a significant difference. At our firm, we handle all the intricate details of your case from start to finish, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

NEGLIGENCE IN TRIP AND FALL INCIDENT CASES

Property owners have a duty of care to ensure their premises are safe and to warn visitors of any potential hazards. Negligence in a trip and fall case means the property owner either created a dangerous condition or failed to address or warn about a known hazard. Examples of negligence include:

  • Not fixing uneven or broken pavement

  • Allowing clutter or debris to block walkways

  • Failing to repair a loose handrail

  • Leaving cables or cords across walking areas

DAMAGES IN TRIP & FALL LEGAL CLAIMS

Trip and fall incidents can lead to severe injuries, such as broken bones, sprains, spinal cord injuries, or brain injuries. The cost of medical treatment can be substantial, and victims often face financial strain from being unable to work. Pursuing a legal claim can help cover medical bills and lost wages.

COMMON CAUSES OF TRIP AND FALL INCIDENTS

Trip and fall incidents can occur in various locations, including grocery stores, parking lots, homes, and workplaces. Common causes include:

  • Uneven or broken pavement

  • Obstacles like clutter or debris

  • Poorly maintained stairs or handrails

  • Electrical cords across walking paths

  • Poor lighting in walkways

HOW LONG AFTER A TRIP AND FALL CAN YOU SUE?

In California, you generally have two years from the date of a trip and fall incident to file a claim. However, if the accident occurred on government property, you only have six months to file. For minors, the time limit extends to two years after their 18th birthday. It's crucial to file within these timeframes, as failing to do so will result in losing the right to pursue a claim.

WHAT IS CALIFORNIA TRIP AND FALL LAW?

California Trip and Fall Law requires property owners to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of hazards. If an injury occurs due to unsafe conditions, the injured party can sue for compensation. To win, the injured party must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it or warn visitors.
