Injured in a Sacramento Slip & Fall Accident? We Can Help

Hurt because of unsafe conditions on someone elseโ€™s property, like a slippery floor, broken stairs, or poor lighting? Youโ€™re legally entitled to compensation from the property owner.ย ย 

In some states, the landownerโ€™s duty to protect an entrant on the land depends on whether that person is a trespasser, licensee, or invitee.ย 

The landownerโ€™s duties are different for each type of entrant. The landowner owes less of a duty to protect the trespasser than the other types of entrants. The landownerโ€™s duty of care is highest for business invitees.ย 

Some states, however, have done away with these multiple classifications in favor of one standard of โ€œreasonableness under the circumstancesโ€ of a particular case.

As with any accident, there are a number of steps you need to take to ensure everything with your claim goes as smoothly as possible.

If you donโ€™t know how to proceed, Doyle Oโ€™Donnell, the experienced Sacramento slip-and-fall lawyer, is right here to help you.

What Kind of Injuries Are Most Common in Slip and Fall Cases?

Slip and fall accidents often lead to serious and life-altering injuries like,

  • Broken bonesย 
  • Back or neck injuries
  • Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries
  • Bruises, cuts, and emotional distress
  • Medical complications that emerge later

For your medical problems, see a doctor as soon as possible. Often, an injury from a slip-and-fall accident can be underestimated. You may feel fine now, but some injuries, particularly neck and back injuries, can become quite painful and debilitating in the long term.

**Note - Please do not talk to anyone about your accident other than law enforcement personnel. Anything you say to insurance company representatives or investigators could make it harder for you to settle your claim. It is also a good idea not to sign anything, particularly some kind of release form, without talking to a lawyer first. This is just a smart way for you to protect yourself. It is important to know what to do to protect the legal rights of yourself and your loved ones.**

 

How to File for a Slip and Fall Claim in Sacramento?

Under California law, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. In cases involving government property, notice periods may be shorter. But donโ€™t wait for too long. The longer you delay, the harder it becomes to gather evidence and build a strong case.

Hereโ€™s what you should do if youโ€™re considering filing a claim -

  • Seek Medical Attention Immediately - Seeing a doctor right away helps your recovery and proves that the injury happened from the fall.
  • Report the Incident - If the fall happened in a store, apartment complex, or public place, report it to the manager or property owner. You should also ask for a written copy of the incident report if available.
  • Document Everything - Get as much information as you can about your accident. Key items include the names, numbers, and addresses of all the people involved, including witnesses. You will also need to keep track of insurance information and the reporting process. Make copies.
  • Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters - They may seem friendly, but their job is to minimize your payout. Never admit fault or sign any release forms without speaking to an attorney.
  • Speak to a Sacramento Slip and Fall Injury Attorney - A fall injury lawyer will evaluate your case, deal with the insurance company, and guide you through the legal steps.

Selecting the right attorney is an important decision. You should choose someone who is experienced, aggressive, and dedicated to working to get fair compensation for your injuries.ย 

Over the past few years, we have successfully handled thousands of injury and death cases. We investigate, collect evidence, negotiate for a fair settlement, and, if needed, fight for you in court. That is why you should contact the Law Offices of Doyle & Oโ€™Donnell.ย
