Can I Still File A Lawsuit If I Slipped But Didn’t Fall But Was Injured in California?
Many potential clients contact DTLA Law Group in California to ask if they have grounds for a lawsuit when they only slip and twist but are injured as compared to the more common slip and fall scenario. These people are typically focused on the fact that they did not fall to the ground and suffer injuries due to that sudden impact. But what is more vital is that they suffered an injury at a supermarket, Costco, Home Depot, Lowes, Domino’s Pizza, or any other location. And that they slipped due to a lack of duty of care on the part of the property owner or their staff.
When you contact DTLA Law Group in California to discuss what is often called a slip and twist accident injury, you will learn that our team is available to help you 24/7. We understand the challenges and issues you could be facing, especially if you are unsure who is to blame for the harm you suffered. We never want any personal injury victim to spend a day or night worrying about how they will cover their medical bills, living expenses, or other financial hardships caused by someone else’s negligence.
Our attorneys in California are ready to answer your general questions about your rights and how to take legal action to get the compensation owed to you for the pain and harm you have sustained. In addition, our staff will schedule a free consultation with a seasoned personal injury lawyer in California with vast experience handling slip and twist accident injury lawsuits. After discussing the details of the incident and what caused you to lose your footing and nearly fall while still suffering injuries, they will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the legal merit of your case and your ability to file a lawsuit. If you have grounds for a case, they will help you understand the process and what you need to do to take the next step in securing the compensation you deserve.
Our only concern is that you contact our office as quickly as possible after your accident. We know it can be hard to think about a lawsuit when you are in pain. But please know that the faster you seek legal guidance, the more rapidly this case and your financial struggles can be behind you. In addition, there is a time limit to file a lawsuit. So, you want to verify how long you have to make this vital decision before the time limit expires.
Es fundamental entender que el plazo de prescripción define cuánto tiempo tiene una víctima para presentar su demanda ante el tribunal. El tiempo que se le otorga a la víctima varía según el material legal del caso. Sin embargo, una vez transcurrido el plazo, la víctima pierde para siempre el derecho a reclamar una indemnización mediante una demanda.
In cases that involve a slip and twist accident injury, you have two years from the date of the incident to file a claim with the court. It is also essential to know that there are very minimal reasons to receive any added time to file your claim if the Statute of Limitations has expired. If you try to have a claim filed after it expires, the case will typically be immediately denied. So, don’t hesitate to get in touch with DTLA Law Group as soon as possible to discuss the facts of the case and understand how long you have to make a claim if you decide a lawsuit is your resolution.
Causas comunes de accidentes y lesiones por resbalones y torcedurasSadly, almost unlimited causes of slip and twist accidents result in injuries. In most cases, the victim catches themselves at the last second to prevent impact with the floor or ground. But in the process of the awkward recovery and attempt to stop their fall, they suffer injuries. The most common causes of these slip and twist injuries begin due to an easily preventable safety hazard such as:
- Piso mojado debido a una fuga de agua, una bebida derramada u otro líquido que se haya vertido en el piso y no se haya limpiado adecuadamente.
- Basura, basura u otros desechos que quedan en el piso o el suelo, como en la acera o en la entrada de una tienda o en el pasillo de una oficina.
- Superficies de suelo dañadas, como baldosas o alfombras.
- Comida derramada en el suelo y sin limpiar
- Hielo que se deja caer al suelo y se derrite para crear un charco que es difícil de ver.
En muchos casos, las lesiones por resbalón y torsión ocurren en una tienda de comestibles, donde la víctima se resbala en un piso húmedo o sucio y luego se tambalea durante un milisegundo antes de agarrarse a su carrito de compras o a un estante de productos y detener la caída. Pero en el proceso, es muy común sufrir lesiones como:
- Daño en el brazo o el hombro debido al peso excesivo que debe soportar para amortiguar la caída de la víctima
- Rodillas o tobillos torcidos
- Daños en la cadera
- Lesiones en la mano o la muñeca por agarrarse para sostenerse durante una caída
- Moretones o laceraciones por impacto con estanterías, puertas, muebles u otros obstáculos cercanos.
- Quemaduras o escaldaduras si la víctima llevaba una bebida caliente que se derramó al resbalarse
Es fundamental entender que el problema real es que la víctima se resbaló y luego resultó herida debido a la negligencia de otra persona, no que golpeó el suelo o no cayó al suelo.
¿A quién puedo demandar por mis lesiones por resbalones y torceduras?Según la ley de responsabilidad civil de California, los propietarios y su personal o agentes deben proporcionar un nivel específico de cuidado a la propiedad para garantizar la seguridad de los huéspedes. Cuando no abordan los peligros de resbalones y caídas o de resbalones y torceduras tan pronto como se informan o descubren, pueden ser considerados negligentes en su deber de cuidado. En los casos en que el problema no se puede corregir de inmediato, deben colocar advertencias para alertar a los huéspedes sobre el peligro potencial para que puedan evitar el área. Si no se toma esta medida, el personal vuelve a incumplir su deber de cuidado.
Cuando se descubre que la negligencia del personal o del propietario fue la causa directa de las lesiones de alguien, el propietario puede ser considerado responsable de las pérdidas y los daños de la víctima. También es fundamental saber que las leyes de responsabilidad civil se aplican a todos los espacios públicos y privados, incluidas casas, condominios, apartamentos, restaurantes, estadios deportivos y parques, por nombrar solo algunos. Por lo tanto, si recientemente sufrió una lesión por resbalón y torcedura, comuníquese con DTLA Law Group hoy mismo.
¿Cuánto vale la demanda promedio por lesiones por accidente por resbalón y torsión?

Instead, each lawsuit value is independently determined based on the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. You will work closely with the legal team at DTLA Law Group in California to compile all the losses and expenses you have suffered due to the injuries sustained when you slipped and were injured. The items that are typically included in these calculations are:
- Todos sus costos médicos actuales y futuros relacionados con las lesiones sufridas en este incidente, que incluirán medicamentos, equipos o dispositivos médicos esenciales y cualquier terapia emocional o atención de salud mental para superar el trauma del incidente y el estrés que sus lesiones han creado.
- El valor de reposición de cualquier propiedad personal que haya sido destruida o dañada en el incidente.
- Su pérdida de ingresos si sus lesiones le impiden realizar las tareas asociadas con su trabajo normal o si falta al trabajo para asistir a citas médicas relacionadas con las lesiones sufridas en este evento
- Todos los costos legales para la preparación, presentación y litigio de su demanda por lesiones por accidente de resbalón y torsión.
