How to Hold the Right People Responsible for Your Slip and Fall
Property owners throughout California have obligations to different categories of people. If you’re invited onto someone else’s land for a visit or to shop, you’re an invitee. Property owners owe invitees a considerable duty of care and must take reasonable steps to protect invitees from avoidable harm.
If you’re invited onto someone else’s land to do a job or perform a task, you’re a licensee. You also benefit from a comprehensive duty of care, meaning that property owners must ensure that their land is as safe as possible for you to navigate. However, if you trespass on someone’s land, you do not benefit from a duty of care.
What happens, then, if you slip and fall on someone else’s land? Your right to hold the land owner accountable for your accident will depend on what protections you benefited from while on that land. You’ll need evidence to assign liability. Fortunately, our personal injury lawyers can help you secure that evidence while demanding slip and fall compensation.
It’s Time to Call Sweet James
We understand that you’re going through one of the most difficult times in your life. If you’re seriously injured, you may need extensive medical care, and you may not have the means to go back to work. You need to work with a California slip and fall accident attorney who understands the extent of your losses and your need for support.
At Sweet James, our California personal injury lawyers are prepared to fight for your right to fair accident compensation. We have experience working with insurance companies and know what tricks they can use to misrepresent your losses or wrongfully deny your request for support.
That knowledge makes it easier for us to challenge attempts to prevent you from accessing reasonable accident compensation. Working with us isn’t expensive, either. You can book a free case consultation with our team today and start working with a lawyer without putting any money down. Sweet James only gets paid once we win your case.
California’s Statute of Limitations Can Impact Your Case
Make sure you finalize a slip and fall accident claim before California’s personal injury statute of limitations expires. Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 335.1 allows you to take no more than two years to bring your losses to the attention of a civil judge.
Connecting with Sweet James shortly after an accident makes it easier to make the most of your filing timeline. Our team can start investigating your losses and finalizing your paperwork while you focus on physically healing from your injuries.
You can discuss your recovery goals and preferred approach to your case with us during a free, no-obligation case consultation.
Our California Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Use Evidence to Assign Liability
If you slip and fall on someone else’s property, you can file an insurance claim with their provider or bring a civil claim forward. Both processes require you to prove that your slip and fall resulted from someone else’s negligence. Working with a California slip and fall accident attorney makes it easier to gather the right evidence, even if you’re seriously injured.
Our team can start investigating your losses while you’re still recovering from your injuries. We work with expert witnesses and professional investigators to assess the specific circumstances that led to your accident. The evidence we compile to assign liability and assert your right to accident compensation may include:
- Witness statements
- Physical debris
- Video or photo footage of the accident
- Electronic data
- Expert witness statements, including reports from medical professionals, emergency responders, and police officers
This evidence may make it easier for you to name a landowner liable for your losses. However, subcontractors and third parties may also have to assume responsibility for your accident.
We Can Prove the Value of Your Losses
The evidence we use to assign liability for your slip and fall accident can also help assign a dollar value to the losses you sustained. That evidence can subsequently make it easier for us to argue for your right to a comprehensive slip and fall accident settlement.
The value of your settlement will vary depending on what specific instances of negligence led to your accident and what economic and non-economic losses that accident resulted in. Our team has helped slip and fall accident victims ask for settlements that address their:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Emergency medical care and additional medical attention
- Lost wages or workplace benefits
- Property damage
