Slip and Fall Accidents ~ San Diego Injury Lawyer

“Slip and fall” is a legal term for personal injury cases that arise when a person slips and falls as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property. Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition, free of hazards to patrons and guests. In legal terms, this is known as premises liability. Slip and fall cases stem from a variety of different types of hazards, including:

Carpeting that is in disrepair
Flooring that is not level
Inadequate lighting
Wet or slippery floor
Rain, ice, or snow that is not cleared within a reasonable time after a storm
Unmarked wells or holes in the ground
Sidewalks that are uneven or have hidden gaps

Slip and fall cases are litigated under the legal theory of negligence. The San Diego premises liability attorneys at Kerckhoff Law, APC must prove the property owner negligently created the hazardous condition or knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to have it removed or repaired. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, contact an experienced San Diego slip and fall attorney at Kerckhoff Law, APC to discuss your legal options.
