California Slip and Fall Attorney-
Injury Lawyer

A trip or slip and fall accident is one of the most common personal injury cases we handle. It may be surprising to find that these cases also entail some of the most brutal injuries. More than one million people go to the emergency room each year for a slip and fall accident. Injuries that victims sustain are wide ranging, but it may shock you to discover that falls are the most common cause of brain injury. As such, personal injury attorneys and insurance companies have had plenty of time and experience to sharpen the competing legal tactics used in these types of cases. If you’ve been injured in a trip or slip and fall accident, you’ll need a Big League lawyer that knows how to use legal strategies and aggressively pursue your interests against those of the insurance companies seeking to minimize your claim. At Big League Law, you are our number one, and our goal is to obtain the biggest recovery for your slip and fall case.

Common Slip and Fall Liability

Premises liability is largely at play in a trip or slip and fall case and damages are typically recovered from the property owner. In these cases a victim must prove:
 

1. The property owner failed to maintain the property

2. The property owner created an unsafe condition which caused the injury; or

3. The property owner knew about the unsafe condition or hazard and failed to warn visitors of tenants.

With a comprehensive knowledge of California premises liability laws, our Big League Law slip and fall attorney can pursue any slip and fall case including:
 

• Slip and falls in Supermarkets

• Slip and falls on escalators or elevators

• Slip and falls caused by snow, rain, or sleet

• Slip and falls due to lack of proper lighting

• Slip and falls due to slick surfaces caused by spills

• Slip and falls due to lack of hand rails

• Slip and falls due to gaps or holes in the ground

• Slip and falls due to stairs that violate building code

• Slip and falls caused by debris or foreign objects in walkways

• Slip and falls caused by uneven flooring surface or pavement

If you’ve suffered an injury due to a slip and fall accident caused by a dangerous condition on someone’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. Medical bills, lost earnings, lost future earnings capacity, emotional distress, and physical disability are all common damages resulting from these accidents that are compensable with proper legal representation.
