Determining Liability For a Slip and Fall Accident

In California, premises liability laws hold a landowner, land occupant, or tenant legally and financially responsible for injuries to another person, which the person sustained while on their property.  In order to have a valid claim, the injured party must demonstrate that the owner or tenant had control of the land and also had control of the conditions that caused the injuries.  Examples of what may be covered under premises liability laws are:

• A dog attack at a friend’s home
• An injury resulting from a big box falling on you at a store
• A trip and fall from a pothole in a parking lot
• An escalator accident at a mall
• A trip and fall accident into a shower at a hotel.

Without the guidance of a lawyer, pursuing a personal injury claim arising from a slip and fall accident can be a difficult process. The Northern California slip and fall accident attorneys at Estey Bomberger are experienced in dealing with not only the above cases but also many others that may fall under premises liability laws.  We fight for the maximum compensation for our clients to help them cover medical bills, loss of wages, and/or pain and suffering.
