Wells Fargo Bank Slip And Fall Lawyer

With over 1,300 locations in the state, California is home to nearly 20% of the Wells Fargo Bank branches in the United States. That might sound like many locations if you are comfortable with technology and do most of your banking virtually. However, it is critical to understand that these locations are necessary for much more complicated banking transactions, which is why Wells Fargo keeps them open. But they know these branches will never again get the foot traffic and business they saw just a decade ago. And sadly, that could have a severe impact on your next visit to a Wells Fargo location.

If you recently visited a Wells Fargo Bank and suffered a slip and fall accident injury, you can attest to the lower standards now accepted regarding maintenance and safety factors at these facilities. Sadly, the staff at each location is down to one or two people in many cases, and there are no full-time maintenance personnel tending to things like keeping the walkways clear of debris and repairing damage to the floors, safety rails, or sidewalks in the parking lots. But as a victim of a personal injury accident at Wells Fargo Bank, that staffing issue is not your concern. Instead, you are worried about how to cover your medical bills and living expenses because your injuries are preventing you from working.

Common Slip And Fall Hazards You Could Encounter At Wells Fargo Bank
Unfortunately, as the traffic in brick and mortar banks declined, so did the level of care provided to these facilities. So when you are forced to visit a Wells Fargo Bank branch, it is critical you pay attention to your surroundings and watch for these common slip and fall hazards to avoid a painful and costly injury:

• Damaged, folded, or saturated floor mats near the bank entrance
• Litter or debris on the floor
• Wet floors that were recently mopped or cleaned but display no warning signs of the increased potential to slip and fall
• Loose or damaged flooring
• Damaged or missing safety handrails
• Water leaking from pipes and flooding the floor
• Backed up floor drains
• Malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that are dampening the surrounding floor
• Boxes or other items blocking walkways
• Burned out lightbulbs that create dark and hazardous spaces in offices or near restrooms
• Spilled water or other liquid that was not correctly mopped up
• Wet or muddy sidewalks that could be slippery
• Wet leaves on walking surfaces that could be hazardous

These are only a small number of the safety hazards that could be present when you visit a Wells Fargo Bank branch. Be sure to watch carefully as you enter and exit the bank as well as when inside to ensure you avoid these hazards, which could result in a severe or even life-threatening injury.

When Can I Sue Wells Fargo Bank For My Slip And Fall Accident Injuries?
It is critical to understand that just because you slipped and fell while on Wells Fargo Bank property, you do not always have the right to sue or hold the bank accountable for the harm you sustained. Accidents can happen anywhere. However, if your legal team at Normandie Law Firm can demonstrate that the accident was caused due to negligence on the part of the bank staff, you will have grounds for a lawsuit.

The critical issue that must be present is negligence in the duty of care of the bank staff or employees. Duty of care is a legal term that defines the level of care that all property owners or their staff are legally obligated to provide to ensure the safety of others on the property. The necessary level of care is explained as being equal to or greater than what the average prudent person would provide.

As an example, think of how you would react if you walked into a room and saw ice cubes on the floor. You would remove them from the floor to ensure they did not melt there and create a slippery puddle that might cause someone to fall. Or, if you discovered a lightbulb was burned out in a stairwell, you would replace it to prevent someone from slipping and falling on the steps due to the darkness. These are simple steps that anyone would follow to ensure the safety of others. And they are what is required of the Wells Fargo Bank staff in similar situations.

If the employees at Wells Fargo Bank fail to provide the minimum level of care required, they can be found negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to someone suffering a slip and fall accident injury at Wells Fargo Bank, the bank could be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses.

How Much Could My Wells Fargo Bank Slip And Fall Accident Injury Lawsuit Be Worth?
As a personal injury victim, you must know that all lawsuit compensation values are independently determined based on the losses and expenses suffered by the victim. There are no predetermined or precalculated values for these cases. Your Normandie Law Firm legal team will help you compile all your allowable expenses to ensure your compensation covers all losses caused by your injury accident. The items often included in a slip and fall lawsuit are:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses
• The replacement value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed
• All legal fees and expenses for the preparation, filing, and litigation of your Wells Fargo Bank slip and fall lawsuit
• Your lost income from the injuries prevents you from working at your normal job until you are fully healed
• In cases with severe injuries, it is common to include compensation for your pain and suffering

What Would Be Considered a Severe Or Life-Altering Injury?
The level of impact an injury has on a slip and fall victim will vary based on their age, physical health, size, and many other factors. What might be a minor inconvenience to a young, healthy victim could be debilitating to an elderly slip and fall victim. However, there are some slip and fall injuries that are likely to have a lasting or even life-long impact on any victim. These life-altering injuries include:

• Head trauma such as a traumatic brain injury
• Damage to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Shattered bones or a compound fracture
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can result in damage to internal organs
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth

The recovery process for these injuries it often lengthy and very painful for the victim and can justify seeking compensation for the pain and suffering they will endure in an effort to make a full recovery.

How Long Do I Have To File A Wells Fargo Bank Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations gives victims of personal injuries two years to file their lawsuit with the court. If the case is not in the hands of the court within two years of the injury accident, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice from Wells Fargo Bank for the harm suffered in that event. It is also vital to know that there are very few opportunities to have that time limit extended. So, it is critical that slip and fall injury victims contact Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible after their accident to discuss the case and how long it could take to prepare the lawsuit to file with the court.
