San Jose Premises Liability Lawyers
Slip and Falls
In personal injury law, specifically in the niche of premises liability, slip and fall cases are very common. A slip and fall accident occurs when a person slips on a surface (or trips) and then falls. When the personal falls, they may sustain injuries when they hit the surface, like back injuries or even disabling spinal cord injuries. Usually, people slip and fall because they are unaware that surfaces are dangerous or that hazards are present. For example, a person may walk across a slippery floor without know that it is wet and may then slip and fall.
Sometimes, slip and falls result from people inadvertently tripping over their own two feet. However, more often than not, slip and falls are caused by slippery surfaces, wet floors, foreign objects, defects in flooring, inadequate lighting and lack of warning. Many of these causes can be attributed to property owner negligence as property owners are supposed to make sure their floors are free of hazards. If hazards exist and have not yet been fixed, property owners are supposed to provide people with warnings so that they do not get hurt.
Anytime property owners fail to meet their responsibilities, like correcting dangerous conditions and forewarning visitors of their property, they may be held accountable by law. This happens when victims of slip and falls are injured and decide to hire a premises liability lawyer, like Attorney David D. Diamond. Once injured victims have obtained representation from an attorney at Wallin & Sauer, they will initiate the legal process to help the client retain monetary damages from negligent property owners. This is accomplished through persistent investigations, negotiations and when necessary, litigation. With his help and guidance, many slip and fall victims in San Jose have recovered significant personal injury settlements and awards.
