Were you injured in a trip & fall accident in Los Angeles or Orange County?
Trip and fall accidents are a type of premises liability claim. When you visit a property, whether public or private, you expect the property to be safe and free from dangerous hazards.
If a property owner fails to maintain the safety of the premises or warn guests of the danger, then he or she can be held responsible for accidents or injuries that occur. Trip and fall injuries can be painful and costly, so it is important that you are adequately compensated.
A person who trips and falls can suffer from:
Bone fractures
Brain injuries
Head injuries
Spinal cord damage
