Slip, Trip and Fall Attorney

Serving Slip and Fall Accident Victims in the San Fernando Valley

There are a number of different situations that may be covered under the general personal injury phrase “slip and fall accident.” An object in a walkway, a missing stair, standing water, ice, a spill or a freshly waxed floor are all situations that may cause a slip and fall, trip and fall or any other type of “fall down” accident to occur.

Although slipping and falling is a relatively common type of accident, it can cause serious injury. Particularly for the elderly, a slip and fall may result in broken bones. This type of accident may also cause spinal cord injuries, head trauma, neck injuries, and sprains. Immediate medical treatment and continued medical care may be necessary for a victim to fully recover mobility, but in some cases a person who has suffered a serious slip and fall accident may never completely recover.

Taking legal action may be a crucial part of rebuilding your life in the wake of a serious accident. A San Fernando slip and fall attorney at the Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus can talk to you about your rights and what options you have in filing an insurance claim or a lawsuit against the person or party responsible for your injuries.

Liability in San Fernando Slip and Fall Accidents

Depending on the particular circumstances of your accident, it is possible that the property owner may be held liable for your injuries. In California, property owners and managers have the responsibility to reasonably ensure the safety of their visitors/customers. Negligence in maintaining property grounds, putting up warning signs for hazardous conditions or making repairs to the property may be the foundation you need to build a slip and fall accident claim.
