Our San Fernando Slip and Fall Attorneys Help You Get Compensation For Your Injuries 

The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) reports that slips and falls are one of the most common work-related accidents. They can also occur in other people’s homes as well as grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, or any public place. Injuries sustained in even a minor slip and fall can have major impacts on your health, resulting in heavy medical expenses and potentially long term disabilities.  

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide the trusted legal guidance you and your family need in this situation. While you focus on your recovery, our San Fernando slip and fall attorneys focus on getting you the compensation you deserve. Common types of slip and fall injuries suffered by clients in cases we represent include:  

• Broken bones; 
• Torn muscles and tendons; 
• Herniated discs and other damage to the back or neck; 
• Spinal cord injuries, which can result in permanent paralysis; 
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), a leading cause of long term disabilities  

Who Is Responsible For Slip and Fall Accidents In San Fernando?  

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises. Under the California Civil Code, they can be held liable when they fail to do so and slip and fall injuries occur as a result. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our San Fernando slip and fall attorneys are here to help you hold them responsible. Common causes in cases we handle include:   

• Wet floors; 
• Torn carpeting; 
• Damaged flooring tiles; 
• Cluttered aisles; 
• Uneven sidewalks; 
• Lack of handrails on stairs or guardrails at heights; 
• Lack of proper lighting and outdoor landscaping.  

What Should I Do If A Slip and Fall Accident Happens?  

According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 800,000 people are hospitalized each year as a result of slip and fall accidents. Even in seemingly minor cases, injuries you suffer can impact you and your family for years to come. To protect yourself and your rights in filing a claim, follow these steps:  

• Report any type of slip or fall to the property owner, onsite security, or the police immediately.  
• Make note of the exact time, date, and location where it occurred, as well as any witnesses at the scene.  
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible, regardless of the seeming severity of your injuries.  
• Reach out to Harris Personal Injury Lawyers before making any statements to insurers.  

When a slip and fall accident occurs in someone’s home or a public place, the property owner's insurance policy may help to cover some of your damages. Our San Fernando slip and fall accident attorneys aggressively negotiate with insurers on your behalf, with the goal of getting you the maximum amount in any settlements.  

Can I Sue A Property Owner For Slip and Fall Injuries?  

In cases where the property owner is underinsured or your injuries are severe, you have the right to file a lawsuit against them and anyone else involved. As seasoned litigators, our legal team can file the appropriate legal documents and represent you throughout these proceedings. Compensation you may be entitled to in a slip and fall lawsuit includes:  

• Coverage of current and future medical expenses; 
• Reimbursement for lost wages and future losses in earnings and benefits; 
• Compensation for pain and suffering; 
• Additional amounts for any loss of enjoyment in life your injuries cause; 
• Exemplary damages, which is an additional amount we can push for if the property owner was grossly negligent.  

How much will it cost to hire a slip and fall accident attorney? At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we generally work on a contingency basis. That means there are no attorney fees unless we get compensation for you.
