Why Hire An Attorney For A Slip and Fall Case?
It can be challenging to prove liability in an Orange County slip and fall personal injury case. The insurance company may try to limit your compensation or deny any liability altogether. An experienced attorney and law firm can help you avoid common pitfalls that could jeopardize your case.
Insurance companies use standard tactics to avoid or limit liability, including claiming that you were unauthorized to be on the property or somehow at fault for your injuries.
A slip and fall accident attorney will be familiar with these tactics and prepare your case to represent your interests.

Hold The Responsible Party Liable For Your Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall cases are also referred to as premises liability cases because it’s possible that property owners could be liable for your injuries if their negligence led to the accident.
Home and business owners have a duty to keep their property free of dangerous conditions. If a dangerous condition is present, the owner must usually either warn patrons and guests of the condition or remedy it immediately.
Consider the example of a wet floor in a supermarket aisle. A slippery floor is certainly a hazardous condition, and it’s customary for there to be warning signs placed at the scene.
But what if there are no warning signs because the employee didn’t bother to put one out, or a customer spilled something, and it hasn’t been handled yet? Or, what if you didn’t see the sign because it was placed somewhere not readily visible? The answer to whether the property owners will be liable depends on the unique circumstances.

- Lost wages

- Medical bills
- Ongoing medical treatment
- Other expenses associated with the injury
- Pain and suffering
Who Pays My Personal Injury Claim?
Typically, the business owner has liability insurance, so the insurance company will compensate you for your injuries. Suppose the owner doesn’t have insurance or your injuries exceed their coverage. In that case, you may be able to recover the judgment through other means, which your personal injury attorney can discuss with you.
The note about insurance footing the bill is essential, especially if you are injured at a friend’s home or someone close to you. Homeowners’ and renters’ insurance almost always includes liability insurance to cover someone who is injured in their home. As a result, you won’t be suing your best friend in a slip and fall lawsuit; instead, you’ll seek damages from the insurance company.

Proving a Slip and Fall Case
A premises liability case has five essential elements:
- A property owner: The owner could include someone renting or controlling the property (like a property manager).
- A dangerous condition: This category includes uneven or slippery surfaces, obstacles, etc.
- Knowledge of the condition: The property owner must have known or should have known about the condition.
- Fail to warn or remedy it: If a dangerous condition exists, there is a chance to escape liability if specific measures are taken.
- An injury occurs: You must show that your injury resulted from the hazardous condition.
Proving a slip and fall injury requires presenting compelling evidence that the property owner is liable for your damages. The following methods can assist you and your fall attorneys in getting the most compensation:
- Gather evidence at the scene, including photographs and witness testimony. A witness can help inform you that the condition had been left unchanged for an extended period. Check to see if any surveillance cameras captured the incident.
- Submit a complaint to the property owner outlining your experience. You may be able to file an accident report at the property.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Whether you’ve sustained a serious injury or minor injuries, it’s crucial to be examined by a medical professional. Delaying treatment can hurt both your health and your case!
