California Attorneys for Premises Liability Cases
Property owners have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are safe for guests and visitors. Often, however, property owners fail meet that basic responsibility and others are injured. Even more unfortunate — the laws that apply to these cases make it easy for property owners to escape liability.
At Kodam & Associates, P.C., in Murrieta, California, within the Temecula Valley, we do not shy away from difficult slip-and-fall injury cases. Our lawyers are always willing to listen to you. In fact, if you have been injured in any type of accident that may have been caused by a property owner's negligence — we would like to hear about it. After investigating, we can give you an honest assessment of the strength of your case and discuss the various legal options for moving forward.
There are a number of different problems that can lead to a slip-and-fall accident, including:
- Slippery substances on floors and walkways
- Flooring surfaces that are too slippery even when dry
- Sidewalk defects
- Uneven flooring surfaces
- Parking lot potholes
- Inadequate lighting
- Staircase and stairwell defects
Success Story
A man slipped, fell and broke his hip due to a large puddle of standing water near a construction site. He later called our Murrieta office for help in pursuing compensation for his injury. During the slip and fall accident investigation, our lawyers located numerous witnesses who saw contractors deliberately spilling large volumes of water in the same area only a short time before. In the end, we were able to obtain a significant settlement from the defendants.
Establishing the Property Owner's Negligence
There are two ways to establish property owner negligence in a slip and fall accident case. The first requires us to show that the owner knew about the defect or dangerous condition and did not take adequate steps to prevent our client from being injured. The second and more common way is to show that the defect or dangerous condition had been present long enough that the owner should have known about it and taken action.
