Causes of Common Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of personal injuries. Slip and fall accidents occur anywhere, including the following: schools, hospitals, friend’s homes, parking lots, grocery stores, department stores, sidewalks, offices, and warehouses, for example. No matter the place of the accident, slip and falls often occur because someone failed to notice and address a hazard. Hazards might include spilled liquid, leaks, wet floors, uneven floors, loose or misplaced mats, rain, ice, and exposed wired, for example. Although some might argue that some hazards are unavoidable and unpreventable, there is always a party responsible for identifying and addressing hazards before anyone suffers injuries. When these parties fail to remove the hazards or inform others of the presence of the hazards, slip and fall accident occur and unsuspecting victims suffer a variety of injuries.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can occur for a variety of reasons and in a variety of places. In many cases, the only similarities between slip and fall accidents can be found in the injuries sustained. Victims of slip and fall injuries can sustain all of the following injuries:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Sprains and strains
• Knee injuries
• Hip injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Scrapes, bruises, and lacerations

Many victims of slip and fall accidents quickly get up and leave the scene of the accident. Although they feel uninjured, they often begin experiencing pain and discomfort a few hours or a few days after their slip and fall accident. Because of that, it is essential that the victims of slip and fall accidents immediately seek medical attention to identify and treat their injuries as soon as possible.

Liability and Negligence

Who is liable for your slip and fall accident? Unlike other accidents, slip and fall accidents do not just happen. Slip and fall accidents are almost always caused by the negligence of other parties. The liable party will differ depending on where your slip and fall accident occurred. For example, if the slip and fall accident occurred in a grocery store, store managers and employees might be found liable. If the accident occurred in a workplace, employers might be found liable. If the accident occurred at a neighbor’s house, the neighbor might be liable. An experienced attorney might help you identify the party liable for your accident by establishing negligence. Negligence consists of four elements: duty, breach of duty, cause, and harm. Wherever the accident occurred, someone had the duty to keep you safe by ensuring that there were no hazards. When this duty is breached, the breach can cause an accident and, subsequently, cause injuries. For more information on liability and negligence, you must immediately speak to our slip and fall lawyers.

Compensation Available for Slip and Fall Victims

Speaking with an experienced slip and fall attorney in Los Angeles can help you understand the compensation you might be eligible to receive. Although compensation cannot reverse your injuries, it can help the process of your physical, mental, and emotional recovery. The victims of slip and fall accidents are often eligible to receive the following forms of compensation:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages

Although there are many categories of compensation that might apply to your claim, you should not assume that you will receive the compensation listed above. The type and amount of compensation that you are eligible to receive strictly depends on the specific details of your claim. For example, if you did not lose wages and are not expected to lose wages because of your injuries, you will likely not receive compensation for lost wages. You must immediately contact our law firm for more information on the type and amount of compensation that you might be eligible to receive.

Statute of Limitations for Slip and Fall Injury Claim

How long do you have to file your slip and fall lawsuit? If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible. If you do not seek legal assistance within the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, you might lose your right to sue. What is a statute of limitations? A statute of limitations is a timeline that applies to your claim—a deadline to sue. You must file your claim within the established statute of limitations to preserve your right to sue. Slip and fall victims have two years to file a claim for their slip and fall injuries. If the claim has not been filed within the statute of limitations, you might lose your right to sue and your right to compensation. Because of that, it is essential you contact a Los Angeles lawyer who is experienced in slip and fall lawsuits as soon as possible.
