Slip and Fall Accidents in Santa Clarita
Personal Injury Attorney Serving Valencia, Newhall & Santa Clarita
If you've been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, you may have the right to bring a lawsuit against the property owner or manager for your injuries. In California, a property owner may be held legally responsible in these situations under the state's premises liability law. Accordingly, property owners must provide a reasonable level of care in maintaining and inspecting their property in order to help ensure it is free from hazardous conditions (broken or missing stairs, uneven walkways, standing water, etc.) Any of these conditions may cause a person to slip, trip and fall and become seriously injured.
Your initial consultation with a slip and fall accident lawyer at the R. Rex Parris Law Firm is free. Our skilled Santa Clarita personal injury lawyers represent clients throughout the entire Santa Clarita Valley, including in Saugus, Valencia, Newhall, and the surrounding communities: Stevenson Ranch and Castaic.
Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents
The injuries a victim may sustain in a slip and fall accident will vary depending on the particular incident. The victim's age and health will typically impact the extent of injury suffered, specifically if the victim is elderly. Following are common slip and fall injuries:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head trauma
- Sprains
- Spinal cord injury
- Neck or back injury
- Brain injury
Medical care for any of these may be expensive, and it can be difficult to fully recover. Fortunately, you may have the opportunity to recover financial compensation from the property owner or whatever party was at fault in your accident. This will mean that you can recover the money you need for medical expenses as well as continued treatment or physical therapy moving forward, along with lost earnings and possibly more.
