Do I Have the Right to File a Lawsuit?
Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. This is based on the concept of premise liability, which states that property owners have a duty to keep their premises free of any hazards that could lead to accidents. Examples of hazards can include wet floors, slippery surfaces, a lack of warning signs, misplaced warning signs, etc. Power washers, obviously, result in wet floors. If chemicals or other solutions are used, the floors can also become slippery. When any property owner – the owner of a home, store, restaurant, etc. – fails to identify and address the hazards present and there is an accident as a result, then the property owner could be found negligent and could be sued for all the harm resulting from the slip and fall accident. We understand that you may have uncertainty about your right to sue or about establishing liability; for more information, do not hesitate to contact our legal team at your earliest convenience.
What Compensation is Available for Slip and Fall Claims?
Although every claim is different, the categories of compensation available for recovery could include the following:
- Medical costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Punitive damages
- Wrongful death benefits
- Legal costs
Our team is ready to help you recover the maximum compensation available for your claim – whether this means we have to negotiate a settlement or take your lawsuit to trial to reach a verdict.
How much could I receive for my slip and fall accident claim? The possible value of your claim will be based on the facts; these include the extent of the injuries that were suffered, the total medical costs incurred, the time that the victim was unable to work and earn income, the victim’s wage history, and more. On average, slip and fall accident claims can be worth anywhere from $150,000 to $500,000; however, these cases can sometimes surpass the million-dollar mark.
For more information about the compensation that you could receive, contact us today.
How Long Do I Have to Sue?
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline to sue. This determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. When claimants do not file their claims on time, they run the risk of losing their right to sue entirely. How long do I have to file my slip and fall lawsuit? Under California law, personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have two years to file their claims. If the victim was a minor, this deadline does not start counting until the minor turns eighteen. For more information about the total length of time that you have to file your claim, contact us today.
