Every year across the state of California, hundreds of people are injured by slipping and falling. This often happens on the property of someone else, and it’s often the result of hazards or the property not being properly maintained. If that was the case with your accident, then you may have a right to file a premises liability lawsuit.
Read on to learn more about these cases in California, and then reach out to Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation. We will discuss your case and address your concerns right off the bat. If we decide to work together, then we’ll take your case on a contingency basis. What does this mean for you? It means that you won’t owe us a cent until you see a recovery for your case. In the event that we don’t win your case for you, we don’t get paid. It’s that simple.
The type of injuries that can result from a slip and fall accident covers a large range
There’s no single typical injury that we see with slip and fall accidents. In some cases, our clients have broken a bone, while in other cases they end up with a serious brain injury. Spinal cord injuries, internal damages, and even loss of life are all possible consequences from a slip and fall accident. No matter what your injury was, you may have a case against the owner or manager of the property.
It’s important to act quickly if you’ve been injured
If you were injured on someone else’s property then your first order of business should be getting the medical attention you need. Your next move should be to reach out to a personal injury attorney. While we may not file a case right away, pending a better understanding of your long-term medical costs, we can start gathering evidence right away. Oftentimes, evidence can disappear, or witnesses can forget the details of the case. You want us investigating as soon as possible.
We must prove that the injury was the result of someone else
Our job is to prove that someone else (or a company) is liable in your accident. What we need to do is show that the accident occurred because the property was unsafe. This may involve showing that the unsafe conditions were the result of the owner or an employee not keeping up on the property, whether they knew about the problem and did nothing or if it was an unsafe condition that they should have known about.
Your job isn’t to figure out what the liability of another person is. Your job is to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas. We will start with a series of questions about your accident and what you were doing on the property. Keep in mind that you must have been legally on the property to file a case. Once we know the basics, we’ll go over your options and give you our advice on the best way to move forward. Contact us at 909-982-0707 to learn more.
