Slip, trip, and falls are the most common type of accident that results in injury. Slip, trip, and fall accidents are the second largest cause of injury in the country. There are about one million injuries and 17,000 fatalities each year because of slip, trip, and fall accidents. Los Angeles, being a major city with many different locations where people can go to, seems to be a hot spot for slip, trip, and fall accidents.
Have you ever seen anybody fall somewhere and immediately get up and walk away looking embarrassed? Have you ever heard someone who just experienced a fall blame themselves for always being so clumsy? These people are the victims of slip, trip, and fall accidents that go unreported. If you have ever experienced a fall, you might be familiar with the delayed pain associated with falls. Even if the fall is not serious, you might have some lingering pain for a few days. In serious falls, victims might still be able to get up and walk away. But imagine experiencing excruciating pain that later turns out to be a herniated disc caused by the fall?
Unfortunately, many people do not seek medical attention for falls. Even worse, many people do not seek legal representation. Most falls are caused by the neglect of other parties—a homeowner that did not repair his sidewalk or a manager that did not clean up a spill. Whatever the case, victims of falls have rights. If you slip and fall in a department store fitting room, where do you get legal assistance?

This might be a simple task for the people who speak English; however, Los Angeles is home to people of all over the word—most of whom do not speak English in their homes. Without a doubt, English is the dominant language, but there are more than 200 other languages with a presence in the city. Because of the city’s growing Spanish speaking communities, Spanish has quickly become the second most prominent language. As a result, you may require the services of a Spanish speaking slip and fall lawyer.
Where does the victim that speaks Spanish go to file a lawsuit for his or her injuries? It is easy to tell a Spanish speaking victim to go to one of the many personal injury law firms in the city—but that is of no help. Why? There are not enough Spanish speaking law firms in Los Angeles to make legal service as accessible as it is to English speakers. Conversations about law and legal processes can be difficult to understand even for individuals who have spoken English for their whole lives. If you are an English-learner or if you simply never spoke anything other than Spanish, the thought of stepping foot in a law firm and having to have a conversation about laws and everything legal in English can be enough to make a Spanish speaker forget about ever wanting to file a lawsuit. For this reason, it is crucial to find a Spanish speaking Los Angeles slip and fall attorney.

Common Slip and Fall Locations
Slip, trip, and fall accidents can happen virtually anywhere. This includes sidewalks, grocery stores, hospitals, and amusement parks among many other locations. Unfortunately, someone can slip and fall while walking down the street or while doing their weekly grocery shopping. Let us consider a few of the locations where slip, trip, and falls are very prominent: sidewalks and grocery stores.
Trip and fall accidents are preventable; they happen primarily because someone was negligent. Sidewalks can become damaged through normal wear and tear and harsh weather conditions; it is the responsibility of the property owner to keep up with sidewalk maintenance to prevent pedestrian injury. If the property owner is aware of the sidewalk damage and does not take action to make the appropriate repair, a pedestrian could trip and fall and sustain injuries.
Grocery stores offer a similar concept. In Los Angeles, there are multiple grocery stores within a short distance of one another. These grocery stores usually have different management and offer shoppers a different environment. What are some differences between grocery stores? Some grocery stores might be obviously cleaner than others. Some stores might have boxes full of products in the aisles waiting to be restocked. Whatever the case, hazards are likely present in grocery stores. Many grocery stores have coolers where their products are displayed—like meat, dairy, and chilled produce. These coolers can sometimes leak, causing unsuspecting shoppers to slip and fall. These stores are required to do everything possible to keep shoppers safe. If they do not and a shopper suffers an injury, the shopper might sue the store or sue the owner of the store.
The party responsible for your injuries might change depending on the location of your accident. Consult with an expert Spanish attorney who has experience in slip, trip, and fall accidents to get more information on who you can sue.
Common Slip and Fall Injuries
The type of injury sustained after a slip, trip, and fall accident will vary depending on the situation. Some of the most common injuries after a slip and fall include:
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken and fractured bones
- Sprains and strains
Some of these injuries might not be serious and only require minimal medical attention. The more serious injuries can require constant medical attention and even multiple surgeries. This can create expensive medical bills. Speak to an accomplished Spanish attorney with expertise in slip and fall injury lawsuits to learn about the compensation options available in your case. You might be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses, among other things.

Many attorneys, unfortunately, rush through cases because they are only interested in increasing their numbers and signing on as many cases as possible. You might find that your attorney disregards your questions and concerns and offers questionable information. If your current attorney does not speak Spanish, he or she might be using an interpreter to communicate with you. Although interpreters are trained professionals, some information runs the risk of becoming lost in translation. Do not let this determine the outcome of your case.
