Slip and fall accidents often happen in an instant, but the conditions behind them usually develop over time. Habbas & Associates helps San Francisco injury victims understand what caused the fall and what options are available moving forward.
What a Slip and Fall Claim Actually Involves
Slip and fall claims are a form of premises liability, focusing on whether a property owner failed to maintain safe conditions. To establish a claim, it must generally be shown that:
- The condition was not addressed in a reasonable timeframe
- A hazardous condition existed
- The property owner knew or should have known about it
- The hazard directly caused the injury
The California Courts Self-Help Guide outlines how property owners can be held responsible when unsafe conditions are not corrected.
