Fresno Slip and Fall Lawyers Fights for Your Recovery

DEPENDABLE ADVOCACY FOR SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT VICTIMS

Our Fresno slip and fall lawyers are standing by to represent you in a court of law. Slipping and falling in public can cause more than just embarrassment. Serious injuries and even death can sometimes follow. In slip and fall accident lawsuits, the property owner usually claims that the victim did not exercise caution and that the dangerous condition was unavoidable. It is important to prove your injury was not your fault, but one that another should have prevented.

Because it limits its practice to only personal injury matters, Jacob J. Rivas Attorney at Law is never playing catch-up with opposing counsel. Mr. Rivas swiftly moves to prove you did not contribute to your injuries and to achieve just compensation for you.

FRESNO SLIP AND FALL LAWSUITS

Fresno slip and fall accident cases can occur in a variety of settings, such as commercial, residential or governmental buildings, and are caused by dangerous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces or hidden hazards. Slip and fall claims in Fresno are part of premises liability law involving property owner and occupant accountability for another’s injuries on the property. In order to obtain compensation, you must show that:

• The property owner, employees or others on the premises created the condition
• They knew or should have known about the condition, and
• They failed to fix or warn others about it

Liability for a Fresno slip and fall accident may not always be obvious. Sometimes, a service provider, government entity or parent company may be accountable for your injuries. It is essential to clearly and quickly identify the condition that caused the accident.

The statute of limitations mandates timely filing of your claim. In California, you have two years from the date of the Fresno slip and fall incident to file a claim. If you fail to file in time, you can be permanently barred from seeking your remedy. Filing a timely claim serves the best interests of everyone involved since witness testimony, recollections, evidence of your injuries and other key elements of your case will be easier to obtain.
