DMV Office Slip and Fall Lawyer

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is always busy. No matter which DMV location you visit, you are likely to find huge lines wrapping around the building and out to the parking lot. No matter the day or time, the DMV is constantly busy. Unfortunately, busy offices are usually the most dangerous for guests – specifically the number of people going in and out of the premises can prevent employees from identifying and addressing hazards that could cause accidents.

One of the most common accidents that could occur on the premises of a DMV office are slip and fall accidents. Any time that a slip hazard is present on the premises, a slip and fall accident could occur – which could potentially lead to devastating injuries.

The Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of personal injury accidents. Some of the common causes of these incidents include the following:

• Wet floors
• Slippery floors
• Missing or misplaced warning signs
• Missing or misplaced weather mats
• Spilled liquids
• Leaks (such as air conditioning leaks)

Any of these hazards, if not identified or addressed quickly, can potentially result in slip and fall accidents and injuries to innocent parties.

The Injuries that Victims Could Suffer

Common injuries associated with slip and fall accidents include the following:

• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Joint injuries (including dislocations)
• Fractures
• Lacerations
• Sprains and strains
• Scrapes and bruises

The severity of these injuries can vary significantly based on the details surrounding the incident. In some cases, the injuries could result in chronic pain, disability, or even death. If you or a member of your family suffered a slip and fall accident at a DMV office in California, you should explore the legal options available to you as soon as possible.

Other Types of Accidents

Other potential incidents that unsuspecting parties could potentially suffer at DMV locations can include the following: assault and battery; sexual assault; accident at DMV parking lot; trip and falls; falling object incidents; etc. The type of incident does not matter – if you were harmed at a DMV location, you could have grounds to sue.

Your Right to Sue

Your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in an accident at a DMV location is based on the concept of premise liability, in which property owners owe all their guests a duty of care. Because of the duty of care owed to guests, property owners must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazards present before an incident occurs.

If property owners breach their duty of care and fail to identify/address hazards, they could contribute to incidents which could harm innocent guests. When this happens, the property owner could be liable. This means that the victim (or his or her family) could sue the liable property owner.

Typically, victims file civil lawsuits against property owners; however, whenever a government agency, like the DMV office, is involved, victims will need to file government claims. There is a specific process that must be followed before the victim could pursue a civil lawsuit against the DMV.

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

File Your Claim On Time

All claims in California are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to file. Government claims, specifically, are subject to stricter deadlines. Claimants must file complaints directly with the government agency within six months. There will be a forty-five-day period for the government agency to respond. If the agency responds and denies the claim, claimants will only have an additional six months to file a civil lawsuit. If the agency does not respond, claimants will have two years to file a civil lawsuit.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to pursue your DMV office slip and fall lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately.
