What Counts as Slipping and Falling?

Slipping cases involve injuries caused by a negligent property owner, land owner, maintenance crew, management company or occupant. These types of accidents happen on public or private property. Owners have a responsibility to keep their property free from dangerous conditions at all times and this even includes for people who were not invited, trespassers, customers, salespeople or those on the property looking to burglarize it. Some examples of these conditions are uneven sidewalks, missing railings, uneven steps on a staircase, wet floors, spills, tears in rugs or carpets, unmarked steps, unmarked emergency exits, holes or divots.

Slip and Fall Accidents

The statistics on a slip victim’s long term health after a minor or major fall can be difficult to read due to how few people fully recover and the possible poor quality of life many have to live with. It is due to this reason that it is so critical that you maximize your compensation after a trip and fall case to ensure you are well taken care of. Slips can be the result of holes in the ground, slippery surfaces, spills, unmaintained steps, overgrowth, and much more. An owner or tenant could be held liable if they knew about the dangerous conditions of the property. In some cases, there may be multiple defendants in a premises liability case which could include a business owner, building owner, renters, government agency, maintenance company, cleaning crew, security company, contractor and more. Our firm will investigate your tripping case looking for every person or entity that had partial or full responsibility for your injury.

Common Falling Injuries

We have seen every type of fall injury during our over three decades of helping people recover from a slipping injury. This includes:

  • Retail shop injuries;
    An example is: Shops not cleaning up or blocking off a spill as quickly as they are legally supposed to.
  • Slip and trip injuries;
  • Uneven sidewalk or pavement;
  • Staircase injuries;
    This can be from unsteady staircases or ones where the stairs are not uniform height or depth.
  • Office falls from power cords, phone lines or other dangerous office conditions; and
  • Construction site slipping accidents.

Government Liability for Slips

Every entity of the government has a duty to provide the people who live within its borders safe places to walk, run, work, drive, bike and be. This includes cities, counties, the State of California, CalTrans, and all other government agencies. They should be fixing sidewalks that are uneven due to tree roots, clearing roadways of fallen power lines and trees, sweeping or mopping up spills, keeping their buildings up to code and safe and generally doing all they can to prevent slips, trips and falls. Our firm is very experienced with taking on the government and our track record proves that we have been very successful during those cases.
