Slip and fall lawyers are accident attorneys who practice within
a specialized area of premises liability law. Property owners have a duty
to reasonably ensure the safety of other persons who are on their property.
A slip and fall accident is a term for a range of incidents that result
from falling, tripping, or slipping due to hazardous or unsafe surface
conditions.
Our Irvine personal injury attorneys will fight for a settlement you deserve and will be there to help you through this tough time. We handle slip and fall lawsuits in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino.
Slip and fall lawyers divide these personal injury accidents into four
general types:
Liability is always addressed in slip and fall cases. While property
owners have a responsibility to maintain their properties, other persons
also have a responsibility to look out for their own welfare. An experienced
slip and fall lawyer understands the limits of personal liability, and
helps his or her client receive a fair and just amount of compensation.
The Costs of Slip and Fall Injuries
Although a fall does not sound all that serious, the potential for serious
injury definitely exits. A 2007 report by the National Center for Health
Statistics reveals unintentional falls to be the leading cause of all
personal injury accidents in the United States.
Some of the typical minor injuries present in slip and fall accidents
include head injuries, concussions, sprained or fractured arms and legs,
and spine injuries. Any one of these injuries can be quite costly in terms
of medical expenses. When the loss of wages during recuperation is figured
in the cost of the accident, these minor injuries no longer seem so minor.
Although thankfully rare, severe or even life-threatening injuries are
possible in slip and fall accidents. Partial or complete paralysis, coma,
and death have resulted from seemingly insignificant falls.
