The need to prove your case.
People fall down and injure themselves all the time. Yet, you can’t take someone to court every time you fall. There are special legal circumstances you need to be able to file a claim.
Do you have a San Diego slip and fall case?
If you slip and fall, it must be the result of a dangerous condition on public or private property. (No, not on your own property.) Legally, you can recover compensation for injuries due to a dangerous condition on public or private property that—here’s the clincher—that they should have known about.
Defining the dangerous condition.
A dangerous condition is something that causes you to slip and fall and subsequently injure yourself. The following is a list of possible conditions:
- Unmarked steps
- Debris on ground
- Uneven surface or floor
- Holes in floor, street, or sidewalk
- Faulty stairs and handrails
- Water or other liquid on floor
- Rain or ice on ground
What it takes to make a case.
The following conditions must be met in order to file a successful case.
We’re not afraid to do the extra legwork it takes to successfully win a slip and fall case.
- The defendant actually caused or created the condition.
- The defendant had someone tell him about the condition or was notified via an inspection.
- The condition existed for a long enough time that the defendant should have known about it and had time to correct it.
This part of the slip and fall or trip case can be very difficult to prove. Often, an expert witness has to be brought in to testify that a dangerous condition existed. Many lawyers shy away from handling these cases. At the Law Offices of Elliott N. Kanter, we’re not afraid to do the extra legwork it takes to successfully win a slip and fall case.
