REQUEST A FREE CONSULTATIONHow slip and fall Law Works
Most people hear the term “slip and fall” and assume it means actually slipping and falling. But for slip and fall injury lawyers, slip and fall actually refers to any incident in which a person falls and gets hurt because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. Of course, that can happen if you slip and fall on, say, a wet tile floor at a restaurant. But you don’t necessarily have to slip before falling to have a slip and fall case. A slip and fall claim can also involve, for example:
- Tripping on cracked pavement or flooring at a shopping mall
- Stumbling on an uneven or poorly marked step in a hotel lobby
- Taking a tumble in a parking garage stairwell that has inadequate lighting
- Losing your balance because a handrail was missing, loose, or broken on your neighbor’s back porch
- Getting knocked down by an aggressive dog on a beachside path
- Sliding on loose gravel or sand on a walkway outside a convenience store
The most reliable way to find out if you have a slip and fall case is to consult with an experienced slip and fall injury attorney like a member of the team at Kash Legal. In a free consultation with you, we can evaluate what happened and explain your options.
Your Rights to slip and fall Damages
If you fell and suffered a personal injury on property you do not own in Oceanside, there’s a good chance you have the right to demand money damages from the property’s owner or tenant, and potentially from other parties also. Every slip and fall matter we handle at Kash Legal differs in its particulars, but in general we can often secure payment for our client’s:
- Medical expenses in treating a fall-related injury and any secondary health complications it causes
- Other out of pocket costs directly related to healing from or living with a fall-related injury
- Lost wages from missing time at work to heal
- Lost future income when a fall-related injury causes a temporary or permanent disability
- Pain, suffering, inconvenience, and diminished quality of life
In some cases, we can also convince a San Diego County Court to award our client punitive damages, which serve to punish the property owner or other party at fault for a fall for engaging in extreme or intentionally harmful conduct.
