Sacramento Slip and Fall Attorneys
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere at any time. They can happen just as easily out on an uneven sidewalk as they can while you’re shopping. Property owners have a responsibility to reasonably maintain their property to prevent harm from befalling visitors. Failure to maintain property or warn visitors of potential hazards can make property owners liable for any injuries sustained on their property.
While there is a degree of responsibility for property owners to keep things safe, there is also a degree of responsibility for visitors to be aware of where they’re stepping on another’s property. A property owner is negligent when he or she knew, or should have known about a dangerous condition on their property, and failed to warn of the danger or correct the dangerous condition. When a property owner is negligent, those injured as a result of the property owner’s negligence may be able to seek money for their damages. Damages typically include cost of medical care, prescription drug costs, time missed from work, and pain and suffering.
It’s a good idea to take notes about your slip and fall accident after it happens, take pictures of the accident scene and get the contact information of the property owner and any witnesses. This information can be vital if you need to seek legal action in the future.
