Sacramento Slip and Fall Attorneys

Slip and Fall Accident & Injury Lawyers in Sacramento, California

Each year, thousands of people are injured, and some of them seriously, in slip and fall accidents which were the result of some level of negligence on the part of the property owner where the accident occurred. Because the statute of limitations for Sacramento, California requires that a lawsuit be filed within a set time of the accident, any delay on the part of the injured person to contact a lawyer and file a claim could effectively bar his or her right to sue or recover any loss, with no recourse. So, any delay in getting started could seriously jeopardize your chances of getting the settlement that you are entitled to by law. For that reason, it is important to contact an experienced Sacramento accident attorney as soon as possible after being injured in a slip and fall accident.

What is a Slip and Fall, and Who is Responsible?

Slip and fall accidents, also sometimes referred to as slip, trip and fall, are indoor or outdoor accidents involving someone slipping and then falling on some type of surface that is too slick to be safe, or they are injured from tripping and then falling over an object. Common factors that lead to slip and fall accidents are cracked sidewalks, a broken step, bad floor conditions, ice, spilled liquid, bulging carpet, poor lighting in dark walkways and an unexpected obstruction in the walkway.

A lawyer can help a victim hold the property owner responsible or liable for any injury sustained provided that certain things can be proved, such as:

• The property owner caused the unsafe condition.
• The property owner knew the condition existed but did not take any steps to correct it.
• The property owner should have known about the condition if reasonable inspections had been done.
