Slip and Fall
All business and property owners are under a legal duty to ensure that their premises are properly maintained and are safe. Additionally, they must also act in a reasonable manner to prevent others from being unknowingly subjected to dangerous conditions on the property. When an individual is injured on another’s property due to dangerous conditions or hazards, the business or property owner may be held liable under the legal theory of premises liability for the injuries and all resulting economic damages.
California law imposes a strict time limitation to bring an action for personal injury based upon injuries sustained in a premises liability or slip and fall case. Failure to act in a timely manner could result in the loss of monetary compensation for your injuries, medical bills, pain & suffering and lost wages.
There are a variety of premises liability cases that generally occur due to slippery or wet floors, damaged walking surfaces, and hazardous conditions which occur because of negligently maintained construction zones including unprotected holes. The following are incorporated into the category of slip and fall:
Step and Fall
Falling into a hole or large crack
