A sudden fall can change your life in an instant. Whether you slipped on a wet floor, tripped over uneven pavement, or stumbled down poorly lit stairs, the consequences can be devastating. Serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, and back injuries are common — and often preventable.
If a property owner’s negligence led to your fall, you shouldn’t have to face the financial and physical burdens alone. At Montanez Yu, we help victims of slip, trip, and fall accidents pursue the justice and compensation they deserve.
How Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents Happen
Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere — from a neighborhood sidewalk to a bustling retail store. Some of the most common causes we see include:
- Spilled liquids or freshly mopped floors without warning signs
- Damaged sidewalks, driveways, or walkways
- Inadequate lighting in stairwells and parking lots
- Loose rugs, mats, or unsecured cords
- Broken handrails or steps
- Debris left in walkways
When property owners, managers, or businesses fail to correct these hazards or properly warn visitors, they create dangerous environments that put everyone at risk. We are experienced injury attorneys that can help your case.
The Impact of a Fall
What may seem like a simple fall can lead to complex injuries requiring months — or even years — of recovery. Many victims suffer:
- Fractured hips, wrists, or ankles
- Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Herniated discs or spinal cord damage
- Deep bruises and lacerations
- Chronic pain or permanent mobility issues
Beyond the physical injuries, victims often endure emotional stress, missed work, and mounting medical bills. These challenges can quickly overwhelm even the most resilient individuals.
Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable
Under California law, property owners must take reasonable steps to maintain safe premises. This includes routine inspections, timely repairs, and clearly warning visitors of potential dangers.
To hold a negligent party responsible after a fall, it’s crucial to demonstrate:
- A hazardous condition existed
- The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- No appropriate action was taken to fix or warn about it
- Your injuries directly resulted from the dangerous condition
An experienced slip and fall attorney can gather the evidence needed to build a strong case — including photographs, witness statements, maintenance records, and expert testimony.
