Liability for Trip, Slip & Fall Accidents in Southern California

Common places where trip and fall accidents occur include parking lots, sidewalks, inside of stores, and on staircases or escalators. Property owners have a duty of care towards invitees and licensees, to maintain reasonably safe grounds. If they fail to do so, and someone is injured, they may be held liable.

The following parties may be held accountable in a premises liability case after a slip and fall or trip and fall accident:

  • Landlords
  • Business owners
  • Restaurant owners
  • Store owners
  • Parking lot owners
  • Other public and private premises owners

If contributing factors to the accident included poor construction or building code violations, multiple parties may be held responsible.

Understanding Slip & Fall Accidents in Santa Ana & Riverside

Living in Santa Ana and Riverside, you may be familiar with the bustling streets and vibrant community spaces that can sometimes pose hidden dangers. Local parks, shopping centers, and even residential areas can have hazards that lead to slip and fall accidents. The City of Santa Ana and Riverside County both have regulations in place to maintain public safety, but accidents can still happen when property owners neglect their responsibilities.

Common pain points for residents include poorly maintained sidewalks, uneven pavement, and inadequate lighting in public areas. These issues can lead to serious injuries, and navigating the aftermath can be overwhelming. If you’ve experienced a slip and fall due to these conditions, it’s essential to understand your rights and the potential for compensation.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident in Santa Ana or Riverside?

If you experience a slip and fall accident in Santa Ana or Riverside, your first step should be to seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos of the area where you fell, including any hazardous conditions that contributed to your accident. Collect contact information from any witnesses and report the incident to the property owner or manager. This documentation will be crucial for your case. Finally, consult with a legal professional who can guide you through the process of seeking compensation for your injuries.

How can I prove liability in a slip and fall case?

Proving liability in a slip and fall case involves demonstrating that the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment. You must show that a dangerous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that they did not take appropriate action to remedy the situation. Evidence such as photographs, witness statements, and maintenance records can support your claim. An experienced attorney can help gather this evidence and build a strong case to hold the responsible party accountable for your injuries.

Pure Comparative Negligence in California

So what happens if there was a hazardous condition on the property, but you still think the accident may have partially been your fault as well? You may still be able to collect some compensation under California's pure comparative negligence law, which allows plaintiffs to recover damages reduced by their percentage of fault. So if, for example, you are found to have been 40% at fault for a slip/trip and fall accident, your claim may be reduced by 40%.
