San Diego Slip & Fall Accident Attorney

Were You Injured on Someone Else’s Property?

Property owners are responsible for what occurs at their location and the safety of those on their property. Property owners must make every effort to maintain their land to prevent dangerous conditions from occurring. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be able to receive compensation for your injury. It is imperative to thoroughly document exactly what happened during the accident to cause the injury, keep a record of the injuries, take pictures of the injuries, and, if possible, take pictures of the conditions that caused the accident.

Landowners must be given notice of the accident or injuries so they know to preserve evidence from your accident. It is important to file an incident report and contact an attorney immediately.

Common Slip & Fall Hazards

There are many things that could cause someone to slip and fall in a public area. The property owner has a responsibility to be aware of these dangers and remedy them, or at least notify guests that the danger is there. This is why you will often see "wet floor" signs in a store when it’s raining.

A slip and fall could be caused by:

• Wet floors
• Potholes
• Torn carpeting
• Dim lighting
• Uneven floors
• Spilled liquids
• Recently mopped floors
• Dangerous stairs

This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything that could cause a slip and fall accident. It is important to determine what caused the fall, as this will be a point of concern for the court and the insurance company. If you were unable to see what caused the fall at the time of the accident, do not worry. Our lawyer can investigate the details to find out what happened.
