Morgan Hill, CA Slip And Fall Lawyer
A bad slip and fall can mean an overnight trip to the hospital. Worst yet, depending on the severity of the accident, victims may find themselves needing medical care indefinitely. Of course, medical care in the U.S. can be expensive, even if you have decent insurance. Our law firm believes that the responsible party should be held liable when this happens. Liable parties may include:
- Property owners: Property owners typically have a duty to maintain the safety of their premises and to warn visitors of any potential hazards.
- Business owners: When you visit any place of business, there should be measures in place to prevent slips and falls. The most common examples are wet floors, but business owners should also make sure there are no cluttered or obstructed walkways, poor lighting, and uneven or damaged surfaces. Should these issues exist, business owners should have clear signage warning customers.
- Landlords: Depending on the situation, landlords might be held liable for slip and fall accidents if they fail to maintain safe conditions for their rental properties.
Our Morgan Hill slip and fall lawyer will meet with you during your free consultation to determine which party might be held liable. We’ll analyze the details of your case and present you with your realistic options.
Why Experience In Slip And Fall Cases Makes A Difference
In an ideal world, it would be easy for a victim to prove liability, and the responsible party and their insurance would offer a reasonable settlement with no hesitation. However, that’s not the world we live in, and litigation of some kind is often necessary, which is why you want to work with a team with experience.
- Our team brings decades of litigation experience both in and outside of the courtroom. Our attorney, Jesse Danoff, knows how to negotiate to get the other party to settle sooner. However, we’re not afraid to apply legal pressure when necessary.
- Our law firm has received different awards for our successes, including the Av Preeminent® Rating by Martindale-Hubbell®. We’ve also appeared in the Super Lawyers® listing before, which is awarded to fewer than 5% of attorneys in every state.
Slips and falls can often result in serious injuries that may require both temporary and permanent medical care. However, help is available when you work with our Morgan Hill slip and fall lawyer. Call our team at Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm to see how we can help!
