FAQs About Slip & Fall Accidents & Lawyers

There are many factors that can affect the value of a slip and fall case, including the severity of the injuries suffered, the property owner’s negligence, and whether the victim was partly to blame for the accident. An experienced personal injury attorney will be able to evaluate all of these factors and help you get the compensation you deserve.

In Orange County, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit stemming from a slip and fall accident is two years from the date of the accident. This means that if you were injured in a slip and fall accident on January 1, 2020, you would have until January 1, 2022 to file a lawsuit. If you don’t file your lawsuit within this time frame, you will likely be barred from doing so.

There are some exceptions to this rule, however. For example, if the person who owns the property where you fell knew about the dangerous condition that caused your fall but did nothing to fix it or warn you about it, you may have longer to file your lawsuit. Additionally, if you were injured as a result of a defective product, you may have longer to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer.

One of the most common workplace accidents is a slip, trip or fall. These type of accidents can happen anywhere, at any time and to anyone. Slips, trips and falls are also one of the most easily preventable workplace accidents.

  • Poor lighting
  • Wet or uneven floor surfaces
  • Loose carpet or rugs
  •  Clutter or obstacles in walkways

If you’re thinking about filing a claim, it’s important to act quickly. Insurance companies often take months or even years to settle claims, so the sooner you file, the better. And if you’re not sure whether you have a valid claim, it’s always best to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate your case and advise you on your next steps.

You may have a claim against the city if you were injured after tripping on a sidewalk, street, or other public property. To win your case, you will need to show that the city was aware of the dangerous condition and failed to fix it within a reasonable time. You will also need to show that your injuries were caused by the dangerous condition.
