Los Angeles Slip And Fall Lawyers

When you consider that falls are the leading cause of injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms in the United States and that more than 16,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of a fall, it is a wonder that more of us don’t suffer from these spills more often. If you are one of the unfortunate victims who suffer through a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation. When slip and fall injuries and fatalities occur because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property and they stem from negligence or lack of maintenance, you have the right to file claim against the negligent party for compensation. For example, you could fall because of poor lighting, a cracked sidewalk, broken stairs, wet floors or slippery surfaces, and the injuries you suffer from can be life altering.

If the injuries occur on a property that is not the victim’s own, the property owner may be held liable for the injuries. The property owner is required by law to exercise reasonable care in the use, maintenance and management of his property so that others will not be exposed to unreasonable risk or harm. An injured party on the other hand, must establish that the defendant knew about the problem, but failed to fix it.

Victims of Los Angeles slip and fall accident must have acted reasonably and taken sufficient care to be able to file a claim. A person trespassing on another property either to commit a crime or a teenager skateboarding on someone’s property without permission, for example, cannot file such a claim.

If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, you should take the following steps right away:

• Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries
• File an incident report, if there is a property owner, report your injury to them immediately, especially when it is a commercial property.
• If possible and if your physical condition permits, you or someone accompanying you should take photos of the scene as well as the hazardous condition that caused you to slip and fall.
