Frequently Asked Questions
What do I have to prove in a slip and fall case?
Generally that the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn about it, and that this caused your injury.
What if I was partly at fault for not noticing the hazard?
You can usually still recover. California reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault rather than barring the claim entirely.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
Two years in most cases, but only about six months if the fall happened on government property. Act quickly.
