Slip, Trip, and Fall

San Francisco Slip, Trip, and Fall Attorneys

Property owners are required by law to keep their premises safe for passers-by and visitors. This includes sidewalks in residential neighborhoods; the government has a responsibility to keep roadways and sidewalks free of hazards. If the government and private property owners do not keep their premises clear of dangers, serious injuries can result.

The San Francisco slip, trip and fall attorneys of The Dolan Law Firm can help the people of the California Bay Area with premises liability cases involving any issue, including:

• Slippery or uneven sidewalks, cobblestones, or pavement;

• Potholes
• Steeply sloping driveways
• Slippery floor surfaces or floor coverings
• Oil, grease, water, liquids, or food on the floor
• Uneven stairs or inadequate stair rails
• Tree roots, cords, or wires on the ground
• Blocked store aisles
• Falling objects
• Bridge construction hazards, including falling debris
• Unsafe balconies or railings
• Poor lighting

Around 60% of slip, trip and fall accidents in San Francisco and in the Bay Area communities of Oakland, San Jose, Alameda, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara involve uneven pavement. But pedestrians injured on public sidewalks in have just six months to file a claim before the statute of limitations expires, and success in these cases requires extensive litigation experience in the public sector. Christopher Dolan is the author of several articles on dangerous sidewalks published in legal journals, and regularly lectures on government liability issues. (For more information about slip and fall accidents, visit our Slip and Fall FAQ.)

In one case, the lawyers of our firm got a $265,000 settlement from an Antioch supermarket in which our client slipped and fell. Chris Dolan demonstrated that the market’s dirty aisles were responsible for the injuries sustained in our client’s fall.
