Slip and Fall Attorney – Santa Ana, Orange County, California

When a person slips or trips and falls as the result of a dangerous condition on another person’s property and an injury results, it is generally referred to as a slip and fall accident. Slip and fall accidents can occur either inside or outside a building and can be the result of such conditions as slippery or wet floors, uneven flooring, cracks or holes in sidewalks, broken or poorly lit steps, and loose floor mats. A wide range of injuries can be caused by slip and fall accidents, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even wrongful deaths.  At The Roberts Law Firm, slip and fall attorney Jeff Roberts represents victims of slip and fall accidents in Santa Ana, Orange County, California, and other nearby areas.

Determining Slip and Fall Liability

Slip and fall accidents go hand in hand with premises liability law, which maintains that property owners have a responsibility to those who enter onto their premises, whether they are invited guests, employees, or customers. When a person is injured in a slip and fall accident, the property owner may be liable for damages if:

• He or she caused the unsafe condition, such as spilling liquid and not mopping it up
• He or she knew about the dangerous condition but did not take steps to correct it
• He or she should have known about the hazard because a reasonable person taking care of the property would have discovered and corrected the dangerous condition

Because the circumstances of each premises liability case are different, to learn which of these situations applies in your personal injury case, contact a skilled slip and fall attorney.  In the Santa Ana, Orange County area of California, The Roberts Law Firm provides experienced representation for those who have suffered due to the negligence of others.

Slip and Fall Accident Litigation

Though premises liability laws dictate that property owners provide compensation for injuries caused by their negligence or recklessness, they cannot predict all possible situations and circumstances.  If you or a loved one has been injured due to a slip and fall accident, you should, if possible, take pictures of where your injuries occurred before the property owner can fix the hazard or otherwise alter the area.  This will make it easier for you to prove that your slip and fall was the result of the property owner’s negligence. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your slip and fall accident, compensation for slip and fall injuries may include reimbursement of current and future medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other physical, emotional, or financial damages.  In some situations, it may be difficult to determine liability for a slip and fall accident.  For this reason, we recommend contacting an experienced skilled slip and fall attorney to discuss your case as soon as you are able.
