Slip And Fall Accidents: A Premises Liability Case

Slip and fall accidents are categorized as premises liability cases. They occur due to the negligence of the property owner in maintaining the property’s upkeep and necessary repairs. Landowners are responsible for keeping their premises safe and well-maintained, so visitors do not encounter any health risks. As an experienced law firm that operates nationwide, Spodek Law Group understands the legalities of these cases and can help you achieve the compensation you deserve.

Important Steps After A Slip And Fall Accident

If you are involved in a slip and fall accident, you must follow some necessary measures to help in your case. Some of these steps include:

• Not stating who is at fault out loud
• Obtaining the names of the property owners and witnesses present
• Setting aside your clothes and footwear at home
• Photographing the accident scene and any injuries
• Changing and obtaining medical help
• Avoiding speaking to insurance adjusters

Determining Liability

To get your case to court or reach a settlement, we must first determine liability. This means that we will investigate whether the defendant was negligent in providing a safe environment that was responsible for your fall. As attorneys who exhibit professionalism, we delve into the smallest details of the scenario to help establish this.

For example, we would confirm the details about how the accident occurred, such as which foot missed the step or what kind of shoes you were wearing. We would determine if there was a handrail and whether you were using it. We would establish if you were carrying something, such as a phone or if you fell due to tripping or slipping. These are critical questions that an insurer and the jury need to know before agreeing to reimburse you.

Moreover, we would establish why the defendant should be legally responsible for the fall you had by determining if the owner left something dangerous on the stairs or if the staircase wasn’t adequately made. When we know how and why you fell, we can then review Riverside and California law to help ascertain what compensation you are entitled to.

Expert Witnesses

If necessary, we will also obtain an expert witness for court. At Spodek Law Group, we have a team of experienced and specialized attorneys who possess a wealth of knowledge about slip and fall cases. We will work with you to examine the scene and discuss all possible theories for what could have caused your fall ultimately.
