| Slip and Fall |
|
| If you have
been injured on someone else's property due
to the fault of another, you are entitled
to damages. When filing a slip and fall claim
against the responsible party or parties,
there are certain procedural matters of which
you should be aware. That is when you should
contact our office. |
|
| Limited Time to
File |
California has
a statute of limitations, which limits the
amount of time one has to bring a personal
injury action. If you were injured on public
property, you may have to give notice to the
appropriate governmental entity sometimes
within as little as 30 days from the date
of premises liability injury.
If you fail to give the appropriate notice
or bring your legal action within the relevant
timeframes, you might lose your ability to
recover for your slip and fall injuries altogether.
Consequently, it is very important to contact
our office as you are injured to ensure that
your rights are fully protected. |
|
| Different
Levels of Negligence |
|
For you to obtain
compensation for a slip and fall injury sustained
on another's property, there must be a responsible
party whose negligence caused the injury.
Even if you are only partially at fault for
your own injury, you might still be able to
obtain money damages, but the dollar amount
might be reduced.
We will review your slip and fall case and
other relevant information. If there was negligence
at any level, you are entitled to damages.
We will vigorously represent you throughout
the entire process to ensure your rights are
protected and you recover the damages you
deserve. |

| What do I do? |
| It is critical
to gather and preserve the evidence including: |
 |
Take pictures
of the location where you fell, especially
the floor surface, as soon as |
| |
possible to capture
the condition at the time of your fall.
|
|
Take pictures of any
warning signs that may be in the area
where the accident |
| |
occurred. |
|
Take the name, phone
number, and address of any potential
witness. |
|
Save the clothing,
including the shoes, that you were wearing
at the time you fell. |
| |
Place the clothing
and the shoes inside a plastic bag and
tape it shut to preserve any evidence
clinging to the shoe. |
|
Obtain a copy of the
accident report that has been filled
out in your presence. |
|
If you slipped on
a fruit, vegetable, or other perishable
item, preserve it in a freezer or |
| |
in a liquid chemical
preservative. |
