Slip and fall accidents may seem sudden, but the conditions that cause them usually develop over time. Habbas & Associates helps Los Angeles injury victims understand what led to the fall and what steps can be taken next.
What a Slip and Fall Claim Actually Involves
Slip and fall cases fall under premises liability, meaning they are based on whether a property owner failed to maintain reasonably safe conditions. To pursue a claim, it must generally be shown that:
- The property owner knew or should have known about it
- The hazard directly caused the injury
- The condition was not addressed in a reasonable timeframe
- A hazardous condition existed
The California Courts Self-Help Guide explains that property owners can be held responsible when unsafe conditions are not corrected and someone is injured as a result.
