Slip & Falls Attorney in Los Angeles

A slip and fall accident can happen to anyone at any time — at work, while running errands at the bank, grocery store, local shopping center, or even when visiting a loved one — and occur way more often than you may think. In fact, injuries caused by slips and falls account for over 1 million hospital emergency room visits each year. This specific classification of a personal injury case is reserved for instances when a person slips and falls as a result of dangerous or hazardous conditions on the property they’re visiting.

When someone is injured while visiting a business or some other commercial, public, or private property, the owner of the property may be liable for the financial burden of recovery from those injuries. If it can be proved that their negligence or recklessness led to unsafe conditions that ultimately resulted in the accident, they can be held responsible for that.

Work With Personal Injury Attorneys

Generally, in personal injury cases of a slip and fall accident, the injured person must prove that the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions by recklessly creating a dangerous situation or failing to fix a hazardous one. The property owner may also be responsible if they did not warn you of a potentially precarious condition on their grounds (even if it was not caused by them directly).

Some of the more common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

Inadequate Warning
Poor Lighting
Torn Carpeting
Wet Surfaces

Nursing Home Neglect
Staircases
Uneven Surfaces
Weather-Related Conditions (such as rain, ice, or snow)

Negligence can be difficult to prove in these types of cases but is an essential factor in placing responsibility for your injury on the property owner. With knowledgeable legal advocates on your side, you have a better chance at a successful outcome for your case.

Types of Slip and Fall Injuries

While the thought of experiencing a slip and fall may not be as intimidating as other types of accidents, the truth is that their resulting injuries can be just as severe. Some of the different injuries sustained in slip and fall cases include:

Back Injuries
Cuts & Bruises
Hip, Knee, or Shoulder Damage
Spine/Nerve Damage

Broken Bones
Head Injuries
Muscle Strain
Traumatic Brain Injuries

The effects of these incidents can clearly vary from minor to severe and life-threatening. Regardless of the cause or state of your injuries, you should seek professional medical attention immediately following a slip and fall accident to fully understand the extent of your injuries and the path to recovery.
