Slip and Fall

Personal Injury Lawyers Representing Victims of Slip and Fall Accidents in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, and San Bernardino Counties in California

Slip and fall accidents can result in serious or even disabling injuries. At The Justice Firm, we work to protect those who have suffered injures because of dangerous property or premises. When you sustain serious injuries, it not only costs you in terms of medical expenses, but lost work as well. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may require surgery, rehabilitation, physical therapy, or even future medical treatment. We are aggressive, capable negotiators who will work with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement, or file a personal injury lawsuit when necessary.

You may think of slip and fall accidents as those related to slippery floors or torn rugs/carpeting. While these are examples of this type of accident, our Los Angeles slip and fall lawyers represent clients who have been injured in situations involving:

• Inadequately lit stairwells
• Hazardous areas that are unmarked
• Defective sidewalks or concrete
• Walkways or store aisles that are obstructed
• Torn/damaged carpeting, rugs, or flooring
• Negligent maintenance
• Slippery floors (wet, polished, waxed, spills, etc.)

If you or a loved one have suffered injury because of a slip, trip, or fall, we urge you to contact us now.

You may expect to suffer a bruised wrist or sprained ankle in an accident of this type, however many people experience injuries that are much more serious. The most common types of injuries related to slip and fall accidents include:

• Neck and spinal injuries
• Broken and/or dislocated bones
• Head injuries, including traumatic head injuries
• Abrasions, contusions, and lacerations
• Broken hip
• Cosmetic disfigurement
• Death
• Torn tendons and ligaments

Property owners and landlords are liable in the state of California for maintaining a safe property for others. When circumstances make an area unsafe for anyone who may come onto the property, it must be made known that the area is risky or hazardous through the use of signs, barriers, etc. Failure to adequately inform visitors, tenants, and others who may come onto a property results in the landlord or property owner becoming liable for costs associated with injuries. These costs may include medical, lost income (present and future, depending on the situation), emotional and psychological distress, pain and suffering, and more.

Insurance companies are not your friend; agents are trained to limit claims or even deny them. Never speak with the insurance company or agree to a settlement that may not be fair without first speaking with a skilled Los Angeles personal injury attorney.

At The Justice Firm, we are dedicated to the best interest of each client we represent. We will aggressively investigate the details of your case to determine which party or parties may be held responsible, and thoroughly prepare your case should it become necessary to proceed to trial. After investigating the evidence and determining its strength, we will work closely with you to determine whether to file a personal injury claim, or prompt the responsible parties and their insurance companies to offer a substantial settlement.
