Slip and Fall Attorney Beverly Hills

Slips and falls are often depicted in a comedic manner, but when someone experiences a fall firsthand, it is no laughing matter. A slip or fall can cause horrendous physical injury, not to mention the mental anguish that can come from reliving the accident in one’s mind. Broken bones, sprained ligaments, cuts, ruptured organs and concussions can all result from a bad slip or fall. Unfortunately, in communities such as Beverly Hills, slips and falls are a common occurrence due to the aging population and older buildings with narrow stairways and thin railing. Beverly Hills has many public establishments and properties at which a slip or fall could occur, which is why elderly residents need to take special care to avoid injury.

If an individual is injured or is killed as a result of a dangerous condition in somebody's home or premises, one can recover damages against the property owner as a result of the dangerous condition. Although, individuals have a duty to watch where they are walking, it is the responsibility of the property owner to keep her or his property safe.

Every year thousands of people are injured by falling due to unsafe conditions in shopping malls, amusement parks, parking lots, factory settings, government property and so on. Too often owners of property or the companies they hire to maintain their property do not take proper steps to ensure that people visiting their property do not encounter unsafe conditions. If you have been injured or a loved one killed because of a Los Angeles slip and fall you need to contact California Attorney Group as soon as possible.  We offer Free Consultations where we will evaluate your case to determine the best approach to get you the largest compensation possible for your injuries,  Please contact us today and we will help you.

Who Is Responsible for Slip and Fall Injuries Caused by Unsafe Conditions?

The possessor of land and/or a building is ordinarily the person responsible for injuries or death caused on the land or building. However, a company or individual that carries on an activity on the premises on behalf of the possessor will also be responsible. Thus, a janitorial firm or security firm will be held responsible for an injury or death caused by the negligence of one of its employees working in a building.

Even a "Minor" Slip and Fall Can Cause Serious Injuries

Many so-called minor accidents can result in major problems if the resulting injury is ignored and left untreated. For example, many victims of minor car crashes leave the scene of the accident without obtaining medical assistance because they feel "fine." In reality, they may have serious injuries, but the symptoms may not show up until much later. By the time the injury manifests itself in actual physical symptoms, it may be too late to take effective medical action, thus resulting in possible permanent injuries.

There are Different Types of Slip and Fall Accidents

• Trip-and-fall accidents, where there is a foreign object in the walking path.
• Stump-and-fall accidents, where there is an impediment in the walking surface.
• Step-and-fall accidents, where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface.
• Slip-and-fall accident, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails.

Slip and Falls Occur on All Types of Properties - Public and Private

Falls occur on private property, commercial property or public property. A commercial property owner is normally responsible for dangerous conditions that he knew or should have known about in enough time to warn you or repair the condition. Landlords generally have the duty of commercial landowners. They must inspect, repair, and maintain all parts of the property that are under their control. A landlord may be liable for injuries to a tenant or guest caused by dangerous conditions that were discoverable through a reasonable inspection. If you are injured on public property you must file a tort claim notice with the government entity responsible for the property. This is something best handled by an experienced personal injury attorney.  We have had years of experience in slip and fall accidents.  You need to contact us today for a Free Consultation.
