Trip/Slip & Fall Accidents
Trip, slip, and fall accidents, often categorized under premises liability, are incidents where a person is injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. These can occur in various public or private settings in Los Angeles, from sidewalks and parking lots to supermarkets and apartment buildings. They can result from spillage or debris left unattended on pathways, aisles, or corridors and in other scenarios where premises owners have failed to maintain reasonably safe environments.
Property owners or managers can be held liable in these cases if negligence is established. Negligence involves proving that the property owner or manager knew, or should have known, about the unsafe condition and failed to rectify it.
For instance, if a store manager neglected to put up a “wet floor” sign after mopping up a broken product, causing a customer to slip and injure themselves, the manager could be deemed negligent.
At Atoyan Law, our skilled and seasoned personal injury lawyers are well-versed in premises liability law and the steps needed to secure compensation for injured clients in such circumstances. These are typically complex cases in which property insurers will fight hard to deny or devalue your claim.
Without an attorney, you could face challenges designed to defeat you or make it difficult to prevail. However, with our law firm backing you, these companies are typically more amenable to settling fairly to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation by our skilled trial lawyers.
