Property Owner Responsibilities

According to California Civil Code 1714, property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their property is safe for visitors from any and all foreseeable acts of harm and must provide them a duty of care should anything happen to them.

This includes:

Cleaning up spills
Sectioning off slippery areas
Properly fixing areas where there is significant leakage and can dramatically affect a person’s ability to traverse an area.

In the event of slip and fall accidents, if someone becomes injured as a result of the property owner’s negligence or recklessness, then the injured party can file a claim to recover compensation for any future medical bills they may accrue.

While slip and fall incidents are some of the most preventable types of premises liability claims, they are also the most common due to the nature of slip and fall accidents and the range of injuries an accident victim can sustain.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Whether at home or in the workplace, slip and falls are one of the most common types of accidents to ever occur. According to a CDC fall report, around 27% of all adults have fallen either at home or at work within a year and have experienced some type of injury. While the severity and type of injury will vary on a case by case basis, head, back, and bone fractures are some of the most common types to be found.

Head Injuries

One of the most serious types of injuries in a slip and fall accident.
Defined as any damage or blow to the head.
Depending on the severity of the accident, there is a very high likelihood that it can be a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
TBIs can potentially affect a person’s physical and cognitive ability.
This type of injury is considered to be one of the most expensive types of injury to recover from.

Back Injuries

Another common type of injury in a slip and fall accident.
Due to the spine’s limited ability to absorb impact, anyone can suffer a back injury.
Getting a spinal cord injury can potentially affect a person’s quality of life.
Most common conditions include sprains, strains, herniated discs, and fractures.
Much like head and brain injuries, the associated medical costs of treating a back injury can be costly.

Bone Fractures

Defined as any cracks or breaks in the bone
Common for victims who are particularly older, because they are more susceptible to bone fractures and other related injuries.
Treatment options range from putting on a cast to surgical repair, but it will vary on the location of the fracture.
If it is not treated appropriately, it can cause a lot more problems and can be fatal under the right conditions.

What Compensation Is Available After a Slip and Fall Accident?

If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you will probably qualify for compensation from the negligent party’s insurance company. In fact, the following damages are the most common types of compensation, accident victims can recover in a slip and fall lawsuit.

Medical Bills – Any out-of-pocket costs that include all past, present, and even future medical expenses you can be expected to incur.
Lost Income – From taking time off to attend medical appointments to simply staying home and recovering, you can collect compensation for missing work.
Loss of Earning Capacity – In severe incidents which prevent victims from ever working again, accident victims can be compensated for any potential income they could have earned, taking in variable factors such as skill, career trajectory, and current wage rates.
Pain and Suffering – Defined as physical pain and mental suffering, recovering for this will vary on a case by case scenario due to their subjective nature.
Wrongful Death – In the event of a fatality, the surviving family members can be compensated for your loved one’s income, pain and suffering, medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and loss of consortium.

Recovering from a slip and fall accident is an unfortunate and difficult time, especially if you have sustained serious long term injuries, but with an experienced attorney by your side, it doesn’t have to be.

Do I Need A Slip And Fall Lawyer?

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, your source of financial recovery will almost always be an insurance company. While you can file a personal injury claim on your own, the chances of recovering a fair slip and fall settlement is very low because insurance companies won’t pay you what you deserve for your injuries and will very likely try to make you accept a lowball offer.

Thus, if you want full, fair compensation for your injuries, you need experienced slip and fall lawyers to not only hold the property owner accountable for their negligence and any hazardous conditions they have recklessly allowed, but to get the compensation you deserve for suffering any injuries.

What Should I Do After A Slip And Fall Accident?

If you have been involved in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, it is important to remain calm and carefully take the appropriate steps in order to maximize the chances to obtain full, fair compensation for your injuries. While it is understandable to feel shaken up and remain objective, just knowing what to do can still improve your chances of getting justice.

Tell the Property Owner – By reporting any injury from the accident scene to the property owner or manager, this will allow them the opportunity to fix the issue. While you don’t have a legal obligation to do this, however, doing so can help your personal injury case, especially if there weren’t any witnesses to your accident.
Gather Evidence – While it might be difficult to gather evidence depending on how badly you’re hurt, but if you’re able, photograph the scene from multiple angles, get witness statements, or even take a long video prior to leaving the scene.
Seek Medical Attention Immediately – While the symptoms of many injuries don’t appear until days, weeks or months after an accident, if you don’t have your injuries documented, insurance companies can claim your injuries weren’t caused by your accident.
Don’t Talk to Insurance Companies – Insurance agents will try to trick you into incriminating yourself, so they don’t have to pay you what you deserve for your injuries.
