Have questions?
We've got the answers.
What is the most immediate consequence of a Slip & Fall injury?
Beyond the physical pain, the immediate concern is the "Statute of Limitations." In California, you generally have two years to file a claim, or just six months if the fall occurred on government property.
What are the typical damages I can recover in a settlement?
You are entitled to compensation for Medical Expenses (past and future), Lost Wages, Pain and Suffering, and even Emotional Distress caused by the accident.
Are insurance companies required to pay my full medical bills?
While they are legally liable, insurance companies often offer "quick settlements" that cover only a fraction of your true costs. We fight to ensure every dollar of your care is fully covered.
What are the common defense strategies used by property owners?
Property owners often claim the hazard was "open and obvious" or that you were distracted. We counter this by using expert witnesses and surveillance footage to prove their liability.
