Slip and Fall Attorney at HodesMilman in Orange County, California

Property and business owners have a responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe; however, in some cases, their failure to fulfill this responsibility results in the development or continuance of unsafe conditions. These conditions can cause those invited onto the property to trip or otherwise lose their footing. Unfortunately, slip and fall accidents are all too common; indeed, they are the most common complaint in premises liability lawsuits filed in California.
If an unsafe condition has caused you to trip or slip and fall, an attorney at HodesMilman, serving Orange County, Los Angeles, and communities throughout California, can help you to file a premises liability claim.

Unsafe Conditions Leading to Trip and Fall

Although circumstances vary from case to case, you may have the basis for a slip and fall lawsuit and should talk to an attorney at our firm in Orange County, California if your accident involved:

  • Slippery or sticky floor
  • Unmarked uneven walking surfaces (including sidewalks)
  • Unidentified step down
  • Holes or large cracks in pavement or flooring
  • Loose steps or handrails

Because the above conditions in and of themselves may not warrant a slip and fall lawsuit, it is important to speak with an attorney about the circumstances of your personal injury case.

Slip and Fall Litigation

In order to build a strong slip and fall accident case, an attorney must demonstrate that the property owner or business (or one of its representatives):

  • Caused the unsafe condition
  • Was aware of the dangerous condition but did not take steps to correct it
  • Should have been aware of the unsafe situation because a "reasonable person" would have seen it and taken steps to protect the safety of others

In some situations it may be difficult to determine liability in a trip and fall accident. A skilled attorney at our Los Angeles area law firm is familiar with California laws and can help to determine whether your accident merits a premises liability lawsuit.
