Slip and Fall Accidents in California: How to Pursue a Claim
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of premises liability claims. Whether it’s a wet floor, uneven pavement, or poorly lit walkways, these accidents can lead to serious injuries, from broken bones to head trauma. If you’ve fallen due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The Law Offices of David P. Kashani is here to guide you through the process of filing a slip and fall claim and obtaining the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
- Wet Floors: Spilled liquids or cleaning materials left on the floor without proper warning signs.
- Uneven Surfaces: Uneven sidewalks, cracked pavement, or damaged flooring inside buildings.
- Lack of Proper Lighting: Insufficient lighting in walkways, stairwells, or hallways, leading to poor visibility.
- Cluttered Walkways: Obstacles or debris left in pathways that pose tripping hazards.
What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident:
- Report the Incident: Notify the property owner or manager of the fall and file an accident report.
- Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to visit a doctor to ensure you don’t have hidden injuries.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the area where you fell and any contributing factors, such as wet floors or obstacles.
- Consult with an Attorney: Speak with a lawyer to discuss the possibility of a personal injury claim.
