Slip/Trip and Fall

“Slip and fall,” and “trip and fall” cases involve property—both public and private property that that has some sort of dangerous condition which is allowed to remain, and where the dangerous condition causes an injury.  The dangerous condition is often a hole, a tripping or slipping hazard, a collapse of a structure, or a result of the property being allowed to fall into disrepair.  In California, slip and fall and trip and fall cases are also known as premises liability cases.  Premises liability cases can also occur when there is a lack of security measures in the face of a known danger, which causes a person to become the victim of injury or crime.

It is important to consider legal representation as soon as possible after your injury.  Victims of slip and falls, trip and falls, and other premises liability cases are often called by insurance adjusters immediately after their accident.  Assistance is frequently needed in dealing with the insurance companies.  Insurance companies are in business to make money, and they have a financial incentive to pay you as little as possible when settling a personal injury case.  Webb & Ord’s attorneys will protect your rights, and can handle any and all communications and negotiations with the insurance companies.  Since your communication with an insurance company could impact your rights and interests, it’s important to seek legal advice prior to communicating with an insurance adjuster, agreeing to a settlement offer, or providing an official statement.
