Slip and Fall Lawyer Beverly Hills, CA

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common cases for personal injury law. This could be because people don’t always take the care necessary to make premises’ safe for visitors, or it could be because of a spill or something that made surfaces wet and more easy to slip on. If you or someone you care about was injured because of a fall that may have occurred due to the negligence of someone else, you need to contact a slip and fall lawyer in Beverly Hills, California from Seber Bulger as soon as possible. There is a statute of limitations in place in California that makes it impossible to file a claim if you do not make the deadline. This is one of many reasons you need to have an experienced lawyer on your side. 

How did negligence occur?

The most important question to answer during a slip and fall case is how the defending party was negligent. Slip and falls can happen because of outside circumstances or just because someone was careless or tripped on themselves. In a slip and fall case, it will be important for you and your lawyer to come up with a strong reason why the fall was not your fault. It could have been because of dangerous conditions — such as a slippery surface or something sticking up out of the ground — or it could be because proper precautions were not taken to communicate an issue with visitors. For example, if there are dangerous circumstances that cannot be controlled, there should at least be a sign to indicate this to visitors. 

Slip and Fall Accidents at Work

If a slip and fall occurred at work, you may be eligible to also file for workers’ compensation. There have been cases with slip and falls that occurred because of a lack of a “wet floor” sign on a slippery surface, but construction workers also can fall victim to slip and fall accidents. Your lawyer will be able to look at your case and see if you may be eligible for workers’ compensation on top of your medical bills and any other relevant damages you may be filing for.
