All property owners, residential and commercial, have the duty to ensure safe environments for all visitors. This includes public entities, such as the City or County. If you have been harmed by a hazardous condition on another’s property including a sidewalk, personal residence, restaurant, mall, hotel, office building school, park, theater, or museum, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim and receive compensation for your injury. These “Slip/Trip and Fall” injuries most commonly occur from uneven or slippery surfaces but can also be the result of:
Although premises liability law seeks to protect parties who are injured as a result of the property owner’s or public entity’s negligence, it is often difficult to prove liability, especially if the owner has corrected the hazardous condition. To ensure that the proper grounds for your claim are met, you should contact our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys who have the resources and experience necessary to help you collect compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even emotional trauma.
Our personal injury law firm will assess your injury and assist you in determining whether the property owner or public entity failed to maintain his or her property, properly warn of hazardous conditions, or create the hazardous condition. For your claim to be successful, it must be shown that the property owner knew about the hazardous situation and failed to correct it in a timely manner and that the action or inaction of the property owner caused the condition which led to your fall.
Once liability has been established, we will work with you in proving a direct causal relationship between the hazard on the property and the injury that you suffered. A myriad of other factors, including visitor status must also be considered when filing a premises liability claim. Visitor status explains your reason for the visit to the property. If you are an invited guest your claim may hold more weight in court, whereas a trespasser may not be able to receive any compensation for his injuries.
While you can suffer virtually any kind of injury in a slip and fall accident, some are more common than others. Prime examples include:
Any one of these can lead to chronic pain, decreased range of motion, and lasting health complications. A Calabasas slip and fall attorney will consider the type and severity of your injuries when helping you seek compensation for your losses.
Carefully outlining your complete losses is critical to resolving your slip and fall accident claim favorably. This includes accurately assessing each category of legal damage.
The injuries you sustain in a slip and fall accident can require a substantial amount of immediate medical care, but this need can stretch well into your future. The more serious your injuries, the more likely they are to develop complications or secondary health concerns, which can amplify this form of loss significantly.
A slip and fall accident can keep you off the job and can leave you facing diminished earnings as a result. This financial loss can be that much more challenging if your ability to continue developing your career is affected. It’s also important to note that career-related losses can carry emotional consequences that reflect the significance we attach to our work.
If you slip, fall, and are injured as a result of a property owner’s negligence, it can leave you with immense physical pain that is accompanied by emotional suffering. This form of legal damage can outpace your other combined losses and impede your physical recovery. While this is a non-economic form of legal damage, its impact can be difficult to overstate.
A compensation claim should include the full scope of your needs, including medical care, lost wages, and physical and emotional pain and suffering. A trusted Calabasas slip and fall attorney can help you understand how much your case is worth.
