Slip and Fall Accidents in Santa Clarita, CA

Accident Attorney Serving Valencia, Newhall and Saugus

In the field of personal injury, "slip and fall" refers to accidents and injuries that result from hazardous situations on another person's property, causing the victim to slip, trip and/or fall. In these situations, it is possible that the property owner or manager was negligent in some way and that this caused the situation that in turn caused the accident.

For example, the owner of a grocery store may ask an employee to clean up a spill in one of the aisles. The employee gets a mop and bucket and cleans up the mess, but the floor is still wet and there is no warning sign in place that informs customers that there is a potential hazard. Should a customer walking down this aisle slip and fall because of the wet floor, it is possible that the store may be held liable for that customer's medical bills and other damages. A lawyer experienced with these particular cases can talk to you about your unique incident and determine whether you may have grounds for legal action.

Injuries from Santa Clarita Slip and Fall Accidents

Though a slip and fall may seem a relatively minor accident considering the particular severity of auto accidents, construction accidents and the like, slipping and falling can actually cause very serious injuries. The elderly are particularly prone to these. A person involved in a slip and fall accident may break a hip or a wrist, may suffer serious spinal cord injuries or may hit their head on the ground and sustain serious head trauma. These are just a few of the possible injuries an accident of this type may cause.
