Visalia Slip And Fall Lawyers

DEPENDABLE ADVOCACY FOR SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT VICTIMS

Our Visalia slip and fall lawyers understand that slipping and falling in public can cause more than just embarrassment. Severe 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. Therefore, it is essential 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, never plays catch-up with opposing counsel. Mr. Rivas swiftly moves to prove you did not contribute to your injuries and achieve just compensation.

Visalia SLIP AND FALL LAWSUITS

Visalia slip and fall accident cases can occur in various 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 Visalia are part of premises liability law involving property owner and occupant accountability for another’s injuries on the property. 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 Visalia slip and fall accident may not always be apparent. Sometimes, a service provider, government entity, or parent company may be accountable for your injuries. Therefore, it is essential to clearly and quickly identify the condition that caused the accident.

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