Slip and Fall

Slip and Fall Lawyers Woodland Hills

A slip and fall accident is an abbreviated term used in personal injury cases that refers to injuries sustained by a person caused by a slip, trip, or fall on another person’s property. In these cases, the property owners are typically held liable.

To prove that the property owner is at fault, we look at the cause of the accident and determine if it was the result of a dangerous condition and if the property owner was aware of the condition. Further, the dangerous condition must have presented an unreasonable risk to the injured party and not have been anticipated. In short, we must prove that the property owner created the condition, was aware that the condition existed and did nothing to fix it, or should have been aware of the condition because of the length of time that it existed.
