What Caused Your Slip & Fall Accident?
If you or a loved one slipped, tripped, or fell and suffered injury on a property due to the owner's negligence, you may be able to hold them accountable and recover monetary damages through a premises liability claim. You may also be able to claim a worker's compensation claim if you were injured on the business property of your employer.
Some common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Spills and wet surfaces on floors
- Weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and ice
- Poor lighting
- Uneven steps, floors, or sidewalks
- Debris in walkways
During our initial meeting, we can sit down with you to hear your story, understand if you are a good fit for a personal injury claim, and then work tirelessly to create the strongest possible case on your behalf.
Elements of a Valid Premises Liability Claim
Having a valid premises liability claim first requires that you show the owner was negligent in their duties in maintaining a reasonably safe environment.
For a slip and fall claim to be valid, you must prove the owner:
- Knew or should have done about the hazard that existed
- Had a reasonable amount of time to fix it
- Failed to address it completely or failed to address it in a timely manner
If these elements exist, it is likely that our Palm Springs personal injury lawyers will be able to help recover damages.
