Any business has a duty to protect their patrons, or anyone with a valid reason to be on the property from accidents like slip and falls. There are many ways to do this, but the general idea is to keep the store free of hazards that can cause harm to others. Store owners also have a duty to warn people of a dangerous condition, like floors that are wet from just being mopped or waxed.

With these factors in mind, let’s take a look at how a property / business owner can be sued for negligence that results in a slip and fall incident. Here are some examples of negligence that can serve as the foundation of a fall injury accident claim:

• Failing to clean slippery substances off the floor
• Using improper cleaning methods or cleaners
• Not using Wet Floor signs as needed
• Failure to repair conditions that are causing leaks, like defective pipes and holes in the roof
• Using floor rugs that do not stay in place
• Creating tight and narrow areas in the store that are difficult for people to walk through
• Hazard on steps and stairs, like ice, snow, and water
• Lack of handrails or ones that are properly designed
• Not cleaning up debris on the floor left behind by other customers
• Leaving wires and cords loose on the floor instead of securing them and placing them out of people’s way
• Inadequate lighting (people are unable to see things in front of them that can cause them to fall)

A thorough investigation is needed to uncover the exact reason for your accident and whether or not the store is responsible. For more information on suing GEARYS Beverly Hills for a slip and fall, please give us a call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The value of a slip and fall case may be around $5,000 to $15,000 on the lower end of the spectrum, while cases of severe, permanent injuries can be worth over $1,000,000. Based on our record of settlements, $125,000 to $2,000,000 is the range where case values generally fall. But the difference between those numbers goes to show you that there is no such thing as an average case value for a slip and fall accident. There is a lot of information we need to know about your accident at GEARYS Beverly Hills before we can tell you the value of your settlement from a slip and fall at a store injury claim. With that in mind, please schedule a free case review with one of our attorneys.

Slip and fall lawsuits involving relatively minor injuries may be settled within in as little as 30 days, but there’s no denying that the majority of fall accident victims end up with serious injuries. This is why most fall injury accident claims take between 6 and 12 months to settle, with some cases exceeding 18 months. Please note that these are timelines for how long it takes to negotiate a settlement through direct negotiations with the other party. If court intervention is required, i.e., scheduling a trial date, it can take over 3 years to have a jury rule on your case. Having said that, going to trial is very unlikely, as it only happens in about 5% of all personal injury lawsuits.

As the victim of a fall accident injury at GEARYS Beverly Hills, you have up to 2 years from the accident date to file a compensation claim. This is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim, which is set by the California court system. Please note that your right to sue will be invalidated if you don’t file a lawsuit within 2 years of when you were injured. Exceptions may be granted by the court, but instances where the court allows for an extension and few and far in between.

Next to medical attention, legal advice from a slip and fall lawyer is the most important step if you were injured on someone else’s property. But you are probably afraid of the costs that are involved, and as a result, you are hesitant to contact our law firm.
