COMMON TYPES OF SLIP AND FALL CLAIMS THAT OUR LEGAL SPECIALISTS HANDLE

Slip and fall injuries are many times categorized within the broader premises liability niche of personal injury law, and this is because these injuries entail an individual hurting themselves on someone else’s property. As you can probably imagine, these cases are uniquely difficult to prove; however, with the support of an experienced slip and fall attorney you’ll put you and your case in a much better position towards obtaining your maximum settlement amount.

Some of the most common types of slip and fall injuries include the following:

• Poolside slip and falls
• Weather-related slip and falls
• Indoor slip and falls
• Outdoor slip and falls
• Slip and falls caused by many kinds of spilled liquids
• Falls caused by a floor that was recently mopped and didn’t have any warning signs
• Falls caused by a lack of an adequate handrail on staircases
• Falls in parking lots and on public walkways
• Slip and falls that occur within public property areas
• Slip and falls within residential properties
• Slip and falls within commercial properties

Although slip and fall injuries can literally happen just about anywhere, it doesn’t  necessarily mean that you’ll be able to obtain compensation from a property owner or other entity. What’s absolutely critical within these types of personal injury claims is being able to prove that your slip and fall injuries were caused by negligence or a breach of “duty of care”. 

WHAT EXACTLY IS “DUTY OF CARE” WITHIN SLIP AND FALL CASES?

Property owners throughout Beverly Hills and all of California owe their visitors “duty of care” when they enter their property/premises. When a property owner or other entity breaches their duty of care, it’s legally considered to be “negligence”. 

It can sometimes be difficult to prove negligence within a slip and fall case, but some common forms of evidence within these personal injury scenarios include: 

• Surveillance footage
• Eyewitness depositions
• Photos/Videos of the hazardous conditions
• A police incident report
• Any records of similar incidents occurring at a property in the past
• Property maintenance records
• And much more…

This above list of slip and fall evidence shows exactly why it’s so crucial for accident victims to act swiftly in order to fully preserve the integrity of their claim. There are many scenarios in which physical evidence like torn carpets and other property hazards are erased quickly after a slip and fall injury occurs. In order to mitigate the overall risks of losing evidence within a slip and fall case, you can do the following immediately after your injury occurs: 

• Inform the manager or property owner of the incident
• Call the police and request an official accident report
• Complete your own incident report by taking photos/videos of the accident scene and your injuries
• Get the contact information for the property owner or on-site manager who was there at the time of the incident
• Get the contact information for any witnesses that saw what happened
• Keep the shoes that you were wearing at the time of your accident 

COMMON INJURIES FROM SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS

Although there are many different types of injuries that can occur within slip and fall accidents, the following are some of the most common injuries:

• Head injuries (including traumatic brain injuries)
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck injuries
• Shoulder injuries (including brachial plexus nerve damage)
• Sprains
• And much more…
