Slip and Fall

Most people don’t expect their lives to be dramatically upended by what might initially seem like a simple trip and fall accident while going about the business of daily life.  However, the fact is that many slip and fall incidents can have serious and long-lasting implications to your overall health and wellness that might not be immediately obvious at the time of the accident.  This is especially true if you are elderly, have pre-existing medical conditions, or in some cases, if you are a child or a young person, who is still growing and developing both physically and mentally at the time of the accident.  

That’s why it is so important to contact the skilled team of professionals at Temecula Valley Personal Injury Attorneys immediately if you or someone you know has been involved in a slip and fall accident in the greater Southern California region.  At Temecula Valley Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand that serious injuries can and do occur when commercial and residential property managers and owners fail to safely maintain the premises they are legally responsible for.  Their negligence or ignorance can create a hazardous environment fraught with peril, especially for unknowing customers or guests, just like you. 

Slip and fall hazards can and do occur in a variety of different settings.  Consider the poorly lit stairwell, non-existent handrails, and rotted decking at the last vacation rental you booked.  Or the loose tiles and ambiguously wet floor at the local grocery store you frequented last week.  What about the cracked sidewalk in the unmarked construction zone you walked through just yesterday while it was sprinkling outside?  These are just some of the many situations in which innocent people have been injured and entitled to monetary compensation as a result, especially where there have been prior complaints about the existing hazard such that the accident could have been avoided altogether.

Regardless of your slip and fall situation, it is imperative that you contact Temecula Valley Personal Injury Attorneys as quickly as possible to determine whether you have a legally viable claim, and to ensure that any potentially valuable evidence that may support and strengthen your claim is not inadvertently “lost” or “destroyed” because of delay. This may include potential video surveillance footage of the incident, statements from potential independent witnesses, and other critical pieces of evidence that cannot be replaced down the road.

Depending on the nature, location, and gravity of the fall related to your individual situation, injuries may include everything from scrapes, bruising, and soft tissue injury, to sprains, broken bones, or even cranial injuries – just to name a few.  Some of these injuries may require surgical interventions or prolonged medical treatment in the future, which can, in turn, result in costly medical bills and lost wages from time missed at work. 

At Temecula Valley Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand how stressful the health and financial implications of a slip and fall incident can be for you and your family.  That’s why we make it our mission to thoughtfully analyze and evaluate every case and ensure that you are fully informed and supported through every step of the legal process.  Our attorneys are experienced courtroom litigators and passionate about providing aggressive legal representation to ensure that you get the compensation you rightly deserve.  Call us now.  Initial consultations are always entirely confidential and free of charge.
