California state supports slip and fall victims
Slip and fall accidents are part of the area of law called “premises liability” that refers to the responsibilities and duties that a property owner has towards users, visitors or residents. California state is aware that these accidents could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, the state law demands from those who own or control a residence, business or government property to keep their space in safe conditions for anyone who uses it.
Even though in many cases it is tricky to determine who is responsible for the injury, you are entitled to claim monetary compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, time missed from work, and rehabilitation.

- A slip and fall case requires extensive investigation in order to determine who is responsible for your injury.
- Then, the level of responsibility is slightly different depending on the place where the accident happened. For instance, business owners or the government have a greater responsibility to maintain their properties safe for the public. Still, private homeowners also have to keep their homes safe for their guests.
- When your injury occurred on government property, your attorney has to prove that this was caused by the negligence of government employees while acting within the scope of their job authority. Moreover, a breach of duty towards you as a citizen has to be demonstrated as well.
- Only attorneys with sound negotiating experience are able to convince the insurance companies to pay what you deserve.
