How Can Slip and Fall Accidents In Los Angeles Occur?

Slip and fall accidents occur every day. Whether the accident occurs on a stairway, in a supermarket, on a sidewalk, or in some other unsafe place, the injuries can be severe. Extensive medical treatment, days or weeks off from work, and physical impairment or disability are often the result.

That is where a Los Angeles slip and fall attorney can help. Sometimes the proof of liability is easy to establish, but in most cases we find it requires a detailed examination of the facts and often the opinion of one or more qualified experts.

The scene of the accident should be investigated and photographed as soon as possible, to preserve any physical evidence … witnesses should be interviewed … compliance with building codes or industry standards must be checked … insurance coverage verified … and the extent of injury, medical examinations and treatment the accident victim has received must be evaluated, just to name a few.

Proving Fault In a Slip, Trip and Fall Case

Insurance companies and their attorneys employ various strategies to win cases or reduce the amount of damages they have to pay. It is wise to have an experienced slip and fall attorney who understands their tactics and can protect your rights.

If the accident occurs on someone else’s property, there is a good chance that the owner or occupant of the property has insurance coverage that includes coverage for reimbursement of your medical expenses but does not address the complex damages such as lost wages, pain and suffering, impaired function, or disability.

In order to recover for these damages, you may need to establish negligence. This means that you must prove what caused the accident and that someone was legally at fault.
