Why Do California Slip and Falls Happen?

Slip and falls can occur for any number of reasons, and it’s important to realize that negligence isn’t always a factor. While property owners and managers are responsible for maintaining a safe premises at all times, some common factors that lead to slip and falls (but do not necessarily constitute negligence) include:

Poor-fitting shoes
Alcohol or drug consumption (under the influence at the time of the accident)
General human error (failing to notice a sign or marking indicating a hazard)

However, in the vast majority of cases we handle at La Justicia, negligence is a factor. Such scenarios include:

Broken handrails
Improperly maintained decks, patios, porches
Debris on a walkway (including extension cords, construction equipment, etc.)
Spills or wet surfaces
Damaged flooring
Uneven carpets
Improperly maintained parking lots
Scaffolding that has not been maintained

When negligence is the cause of your slip and fall accident injury, a civil claim with La Justicia can be the best means of helping you secure a fast cash settlement which can cover a number of expenses (also referred to as damages).

What Should You Do After a Slip or Trip and Fall Injury?

Slip and falls can be traumatic events which leave victims with long-term damage and often difficult roads to recovery. When such a premises liability injury occurs, it’s important to know how to proceed to ensure that you secure all applicable damages in your eventual civil claim.

La Justicia’s team of slip and fall accident attorneys recommends taking as many of the following steps as possible after your injury:

Seek medical treatment: Slip and fall accidents often lead to head injuries. These types of injuries can be extremely serious, and it is imperative that you seek immediate medical attention after a slip and fall accident. A medical examination by a licensed physician will address your health and overall well-being. In addition, obtaining immediate medical treatment after a slip and fall injury establishes critical documentation which will help support your civil claim with La Justicia.
Take photos and videos of your injuries: Medical exams are important and always recommended after slip and fall accidents. That said, having your own evidence through photos and videos of the injuries you sustained in the premises liability accident is also strongly encouraged
File a claim with the property: Whether the slip and fall occurred at a hotel, casino, or shopping center, filing an official claim with the property is strongly encouraged. In some cases, slip and fall cases are actually denied because the victim did not file an official claim with the at-fault entity.
Gather contact info: Gather all applicable contact information from the property owner or manager – driver’s license, phone number, email, etc. If your incident occurred at a place of business, obtain the contact information of the supervisor or point of contact.
Gather contact info and statements from witnesses: If anyone saw your slip and fall accident happen, collect their contact info as well as a short statement related to the facts of the incident to help corroborate your claim.
Take photos/videos of the accident scene: If there was water on the floor in the grocery store or an extension cord along the walkway at a hotel, it’s important to have documentation through photos and videos to help corroborate your claim.
Don’t accept a cash settlement or make a statement to the insurance company: Unless you are represented by a slip and fall lawyer from La Justicia (and that individual is present), do not ever accept any type of financial compensation or make an official statement.
