When Slip and Fall Accidents Cause Serious Injury
Slip and fall accidents (also called "trip and fall accidents") injure thousands of Americans each year. It is possible for many of these Americans to take legal action, holding negligent actors responsible for the harm caused.

Proving Your Slip and Fall Case
Successful slip and fall cases require the assistance of an experienced lawyer. Using evidence collected, statements from witnesses and expert testimony, your attorney must generally prove three things in order to win the case:
- The duty on the part of the property owner to exercise proper case;
- A breach of this duty due to some error or omission, like failing to repair a broken stairway or notify someone that the steps were broken;
- The property owner's failure was the cause of a resulting injury.
Failure to prove any one of these elements may result in loss of the case so — when we accept your slip and fall case — we work diligently to make sure that every aspect is covered. We are experienced, professional and committed to you at every step of the way.
Sometimes an expert's testimony is the key to winning a complex slip and fall case. At the Ellis Law Corporation, we collaborate with highly-regarded experts to support our clients' needs. Depending on the facts of the case, various professionals may be called upon.
Both prior to and during representation of clients in slip and fall and other premises liability cases, attorneys at our El Segundo law firm regularly consult with clients to estimate the projected cost of litigation and the potential recovery or exposure. This process continues throughout the litigation and allows us to closely monitor litigation costs in most matters.
