How Do Slip and Falls Happen?

Slip/trip and fall accidents come under the umbrella of premises liability law. They happen when property owners negligently ignore or fail to fix safety hazards or property defects. They are the most common type of premises liability claim. Every year, more than one million people in the U.S. go to the emergency room for slip and fall injuries.

The most frequent causes of slip and fall accidents include:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Greasy or waxy floors
  • Debris in store aisles
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Broken or missing handrails
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Loose carpets or rugs

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for victims of slip and fall accidents to recover compensation for their injuries – even if someone else’s negligence or carelessness caused the incident. Due to a high number of fraudulent slip and fall accident claims over the years, insurance companies are especially vigilant in investigating these cases. Even authentic claims often receive denials. It is up to you as a victim to do everything you can to win your case – including hiring an experienced San Diego slip and fall lawyer.

The Comparative Fault Doctrine is followed in California, which means slip and fall victims can be compensated even when they are partly at fault for the injury. In California, the success rate at trial for plaintiffs in slip and fall cases has increased from less than 40 percent to over 60 percent since the adoption of the comparative fault doctrine. The success rate for settling slip and fall cases without trial is higher.
