The Injuries Associated with Trip and Fall Accidents

Trip and fall accidents are often disregarded as minor accidents that result in little to no injuries. Although it is possible for trip and fall accidents to be minor, it is also possible for trip and fall incidents to result in complex injuries. Some of the injuries that affected consumers could suffer include the following:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal injuries
• Fractures
• Joint injuries
• Dislocations
• Lacerations
• Scrapes and bruises
• Strains and sprains
• Muscle injuries
• Torn ligaments
• Nerve injuries

Based on the specific type of injuries suffered, victims could suffer long-term harm. Some injuries could lead to permanent disability. Other injuries could be fatal. Regardless of the specific harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a tree root trip and fall accident, you might have grounds to sue.

Who Is Liable?

Who can I sue? If you suffered a trip and fall accident, it is important that you establish liability. Liability for trip and fall accidents is normally based on the concept of premise liability. That is, property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are completely safe of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could put their guests at risk of suffering harms. They must routinely inspect the premises to be able to identify and address the hazards present, such as exposed tree roots. When property owners fail to identify and address hazards on their premises (even by just posting warning signs), they are breaching their duty of care. The breach of duty can lead to an incident (such as someone tripping and falling) which can directly lead to harm. Although premise liability generally applies to the owners of private property, it could also apply to the owners of public property – that is, property owned by a city or state agency.

Who can I sue? Based on the details surrounding the specific situation, you could sue a property owner; if the exposed tree roots were on city property, you could establish city liability and sue the city. Would you like to learn more about premise liability and your right to file a lawsuit for a trip and fall accident associated with exposed tree roots? If so, contact the experts at our firm today.

If you suffered a trip and fall accident due to an exposed tree root, you might have grounds to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. However, you could lose your right to sue if you failed to file your claim within the appropriate length of time. This is because your claim is subject to a deadline – or statute of limitations. If you fail to file your claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitation, you could lose your right to sue.

How long do you have to pursue your claim? In general, injury claims, like trip and fall claims, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations – at least in the state of California. However, if you are pursuing a government claim (that is, if a government agency is liable), you must file the claim within six months; if the agency fails to respond to your claim or rejects your claim, you will have two years to pursue a civil claim.
