Irvine Slip and Fall Attorney

Compensation for Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and falls according to reports are 70% of the time due to an unsafe condition on the premises.  It could be as a result of a spill in a supermarket that an employee did not clean up in reasonable amount of time. At a home, it might be due to a faulty railing.  Oily surfaces, wet surfaces, badly constructed stairs, bad or missing railings and inadequate lighting can all result in slip and falls.  Proving liability in these matters can be complex.  The property owner or occupier has varying duties of care to maintain the safety of the premises.  The duty of care changes according to whether the defendant is the owner or occupier and whether the claimant is a trespasser, guest or customer. It is urged that claimants seek legal representation with a personal injury lawyer in Irvine experienced in slip and falls litigation.
