Bel Air Trip And Fall Injury Lawyer

When grocery shopping, it is common to look at displays and shelves to locate the items you need rather than focusing on the floor. While this is the best way to find the food items on your list, there might be better courses of action for your safety and health. Sadly, many staff members at Bel Air locations have become very lax in inspecting the stores for trip and fall hazards and other issues that can result in severe injuries for its patrons. So, even if it adds time to your weekly grocery shopping, please take the time to watch for these common trip and fall hazards:

• Folded or damaged floor mats at the entrance, near the produce, and in hallways and restrooms
• Basura y escombros en los estacionamientos y en las aceras
• Cables eléctricos o mangueras de aspiradora dejados en los pasillos
• Escalones, rampas o transiciones mal marcadas o sin marcar de una superficie de piso a otra
• Suelo dañado o irregular
• Cracks or potholes in parking lots or damage to sidewalks or parking blocks
• Inventory items that were left on the floor instead of being properly placed on shelves
• Free-standing displays limiting walking space
• Damaged shelves or displays that could be allowing items to fall to the floor
• Faulty lighting creates dark areas in parking lots, hallways, or other places that become hazardous to navigate in the dark

Unfortunately, it is not safe to assume that the store staff will locate trip and fall hazards during inspections and resolve them to ensure the safety of patrons as required under duty of care. So, it is wise to invest the added time in carefully inspecting the aisles and walkways you will be using when shopping at Bel Air.

Premises liability law and duty of care are in place to protect the safety of guests on public or private property. The guidelines explain the legal reasonability of property owners and their staff regarding the care and maintenance of the space and the elimination of any safety hazards discovered during inspections. Duty of care uses simple terms to define the level of care that should be exhibited by the property owner and staff to address safety concerns.

The required level of care must be equal to what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation. For example, if you see an electrical cord left in a walkway at your home, you would remove it to prevent a trip and fall injury incident. Likewise, that is considered common sense or a typical reaction when the average person sees a cord on the floor. It is also what is expected of the staff at Bel Air.

If the store staff does not meet their obligation under duty of care, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that a trip and fall injury was caused by that negligence or the staff negligence contributed to the cause of a personal injury accident, Bel Air can be liable for the victim’s expenses due to their injuries.

As you discuss the details of your Bel Air trip and fall incident with your DTLA Law Group legal team, you will learn that the compensation amount of your lawsuit will be determined based on your actual losses and expenses. The total of these allowable expenses is calculated by your Bel Air slip and fall injury attorney and will often include:

• All current and future medical costs related to the care of your Bel Air trip and fall injuries
• Your lost income if the injuries sustained prevent you from working or you miss work to attend medical appointments related to your trip and fall injuries
• The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the trip and fall injury incident
• All legal expenses related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of your Bel Air trip and fall injury lawsuit

If the injuries you sustained at Bel Air were severe and will require an extended recovery time, it is common to include compensation for your pain and suffering in the amount sought via your lawsuit. Because this is not a documented amount, such as a medical bill or receipt for damaged property, your Bel Air trip and fall injury attorney will assist you in selecting an appropriate amount. They will refer to recently resolved trip and fall injury cases with similar circumstances to ensure you are fully and fairly compensated for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries.

As a personal injury victim, you have two years from the date of your injuries to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed within two years, you will typically lose the right to sue Bel Air for your losses and harm. It is also critical to understand that few exceptions to this time limit would provide added time to sue Bel Air for your injuries. So, it is best to contact DTLA Law Group quickly and verify the time remaining to file your case and plan accordingly if you are considering legal action.

As a victim of a personal injury, you should never be denied exceptional legal care because you cannot afford to pay upfront legal fees. However, that is a requirement for many law firms to begin working on your claim; at DTLA Law Group, we believe in providing justice for all, regardless of their ability to pay upfront fees. Our firm never requires any fees to be paid until the case is resolved, and our client has the compensation, which includes funds to cover their legal costs and other expenses.
