Clogged Toilets and Drains Resulting in Slip and Fall Injury

Do you have the right to sue? Yes – you can sue if you were injured in a slip and fall accident. You can even sue if a member of your family suffered harm or lost his or her life because of a slip and fall accident. Your right to sue is based on the concept of premise liability. Because of premise liability, all property owners have a duty of care towards their guests. They must keep their premises safe and free of any hazards, like clogged drains and toilets, that could potentially contribute to incidents, like slip and falls. This means that property owners must routinely inspect their premises to keep up with maintenance and overall safety. When property owners fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care and putting their guests at risk of suffering harm. When guests are harmed due to a breached duty of care, property owners could be liable.

In other words, based on the concept of premise liability, you could sue for the harm resulting from a slip and fall accident. If you are interested in learning more about your right to pursue a slip and fall claim for the harm that you suffered, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately.

After suffering harm in a slip and fall accident, there are a number of things that you should do to prepare to pursue your injury claim. Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Take photos of your injuries
• Take photos of the hazard that caused your accident
• Take photos of the entire scene of the accident
• File an accident report with the property owner and request a copy of the report
• Seek medical care as soon as possible
• Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information
• Gather any video or surveillance footage that captured your accident
• Collect relevant records – including medical records, records of lost earnings/wages, records of property damage, etc.
• Speak with a slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible to learn more about your right to file a lawsuit

If your slip and fall accident claim is successful, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm resulting from the incident. What could you receive? What compensation could you be awarded? Although every claim is different, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages
• Attorney’s fees

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always be based on the details surrounding your claim. Therefore, it is recommended that you discuss your claim with an experienced slip and fall lawyer to learn more about the possible value of your claim. At our firm, you can trust that our lawyers will aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your slip and fall claim.

All claims, including slip and fall claims against restaurant owners, shopping mall owners, hospitals, etc., are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims on time, they can lose their right to sue altogether. What deadline applies to your slip and fall claim? In California, slip and fall accident claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, which gives claimants only two years to sue. However, it is possible for exceptions to this statute of limitations to apply (which can pause the deadline to sue). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that applies to your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our slip and fall lawyers will help you file your claim on time.
