Trip and Fall in a Parking Lot – Injury Lawyers

All trip and fall accidents are different. Some trip and fall accidents can result in only minor injuries while others can lead to permanent or even fatal injuries. Some examples of the injuries that occur because of trip and fall accidents include the following:

• Arm injuries, wrist injuries, and hand injuries
• Leg injuries, ankle injuries, and foot injuries
• Fractures (simple and complex)
• Esguinces y distensiones
• Rasguños y contusiones
• Lesiones de rodilla
• Lesiones cervicales y de espalda

These are just some of the injuries can occur due to trip and fall accidents at parking lots. No matter the specific injuries resulting from the accident, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Yes – you could have the right to sue. Your right to sue is based on the concept of premise liability. More specifically, it is based on the fact that the parking lot property owner failed to keep the parking lot safe, resulting in your accident and your injuries. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests – that is, anyone who is rightfully on the property – a duty of care. In other words, they have a duty to keep the premises safe and free of any hazards that could lead to incidents. Because of this, the owners of parking lots have a duty to keep their lots safe; they must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazards before incidents occur. When property owners fail to keep their premises safe, hazards on the property could cause trip and fall accidents, which can result in harm.

So, can you sue? If you can prove that the injuries that you or a loved one suffered occurred as a direct result of a breached duty of care – or the property owner’s failure to keep the parking lot safe and free of hazards – then you could have the right to file a lawsuit.

What is the average value of trip and fall claims? The value of trip and fall claims can vary significantly from case to case. These cases can have values ranging from $50,000 to $750,000. In fact, these cases can sometimes be worth even more. The types of injuries suffered, the total amount in medical costs, the permanency of the injuries, etc. are all factors that must be considered to determine the average value of a claim.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible. Depending on the details surrounding the case, the settlement process can take much longer. In general, all cases can be settled within two years with very few exceptions.

All injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations, or a deadline to sue. In California, trip and fall accident claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their lawsuits. In some cases, certain exceptions could apply, meaning that the applicable deadline is tolled or paused for some time.

What happens if I do not file my trip and fall claim on time? Unfortunately, failing to file your claim on time means that you will lose your right to sue. To ensure that your claim is filed on time, contact the experts here at our law firm today.
