Los Angeles Slip & Fall Accident Lawyer
Slip and Fall accidents refer to injuries in which an individual slips, trips, or falls on someone else’s property. These kinds of accidents are extremely common and can happen to almost anybody.
Because this personal injury case occurs on someone else’s property, it’s considered a premises liability claim. This means that there are a few elements that must be proven to win a case, outlined by the California Civil Jury Instructions 1000:
- The defendant controlled the premises and had a duty of care
- The defendant was negligent in the use or maintenance of the property
- The plaintiff was injured
- The defendant’s negligence caused the injuries sustained by the plaintiff
- The main element to prove in a slip and fall claim is negligence. California Civil Jury Instructions 1003 outlines the conditions that establish negligence:
- The condition on the property created an unreasonable risk of harm
- The defendant knew, or should have known about the risk of harm
- The defendant failed to fix, protect against, or warn against the risk of harm
