Cases Our Huntington Beach Slip and Fall Attorneys Represent

Slips and falls are a leading cause of hospital emergency room visits. According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), they impact roughly eight million people each year. While generally considered ‘accidental’ injuries, negligence on the part of others is often to blame.  At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Huntington Beach slip and fall attorneys hold those at fault accountable so you can get the compensation you are entitled to. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of clients when slip and fall accidents occur in the following places: 

• At other people’s homes or apartment complexes; 
• At hospitals, nursing homes, or other medical facilities; 
• At work, school, or in office buildings; 
• At grocery stores, malls, and retail establishments; 
• At restaurants, movie theaters, and concert halls; 
• At amusement parks, hotels, and other types of attractions; 
• At public parks, beaches, and along city sidewalks.

What Are Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents?

Victims in slip and fall cases often blame themselves, attributing the incident to being distracted and not looking where they were going. The reality is that actions on the part of the property owner, manager, or onsite employees are generally to blame.  When you suffer serious injuries as a result of slips and falls, our Huntington Beach slip and fall accident attorneys uncover the underlying causes. Common factors that lead to slips and falls in cases Harris Personal Injury Lawyers represent include:

• Wet, slippery floors due to spills or condensation; 
• Torn carpeting or uneven flooring tiles; 
• Cluttered aisles and walkways; 
• Lack of proper lighting or landscaping; 
• Lack of handrails at heights and on stairs.

Under Section 1714 of the California Civil Code, everyone is responsible not only for actions that cause injuries to others, but for failing to take the required precautions to prevent injuries from occurring. This includes property owners. When they fail to properly maintain the premises and do not warn visitors of potential dangers, they can be held liable for the injuries you suffer.

How Do I Get Compensation For Slip and Fall Injuries?

Even a minor slip and fall could result in serious injuries that impact your health and financial security for years into the future. Torn muscles, broken bones, dislocated joints, and severe back, neck, and head injuries are all common in slip and fall accidents. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team can take the actions needed to get you compensation for the medical expenses and other losses you suffer. Depending on the circumstances, the property owner may have insurance in place. Our Huntington Beach slip and fall attorneys aggressively negotiate with insurers on your behalf, helping to ensure you get the maximum amount in your settlement. In the event a policy is not in place, a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, or your injuries are severe, we will not hesitate to take the property owners and others at fault to court.

How Much Is My Slip and Fall Accident Case Worth?

Our goal at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers is to ensure you get the maximum amount you are entitled to. This will vary depending on the circumstances surrounding your slip and fall accident,  the extent of your injuries, and the type of claim you file. While insurance may cover some of your costs, there are additional types of compensation available in a personal injury lawsuit filed through the Orange County Civil Court. This includes:

• Economic damages: These cover your tangible costs, such as your current medical bills and lost wages, as well as any future expenses you are likely to incur.   
• Non-economic damages: These cover intangible costs, such as the pain and suffering you experience as a result of your injuries; 
• Punitive damages: This is an additional amount the judge may order if the property owner acted in a particularly negligent manner.
