East Bay Slip-and-Fall Accident Lawyer
Property owners have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for customers, business patrons, or personal guests on their property. This responsibility includes the safe design and construction of the property, as well as the maintenance and timely repair of potential safety hazards as they arise. Although reasonable care and preventive measures are expected on the part of the public to avoid a recognizable hazard, such as a spilled carton of eggs in a store aisle, the property owner is required to warn the public and remove the problem as quickly as possible.
Winning a premises liability settlement or jury award is becoming more difficult. Insurance defense lawyers know that taking a case to trial is becoming more difficult. Judges are often quick to dismiss the claim because they place a great deal of personal responsibility on the part of the victim. When a case does proceed to trial, jurors often blame the victim for carelessness. Winning a slip-and-fall accident case requires evidence that points to a clear case of negligence on the part of the property owner, and significant injury to the plaintiff.
