Slip and fall accidents happen in many settings. Slip and fall accidents can cause lasting injuries when property owners ignore basic safety. Common causes include:
Wet or slippery floors in grocery stores, malls, or restaurants
Uneven sidewalks or broken pavement
Poor lighting in parking lots or stairwells
Cluttered walkways or unsafe construction sites
Lack of warning signs after spills or cleaning
Unsafe public property due to someone else’s negligence
Slip and fall cases are often preventable due to negligence in maintaining safety. When such injuries occur, property owners and managers may be held legally responsible for failing to maintain safe conditions. Legal claims for slip and fall accidents can arise from unsafe conditions like wet floors or broken stairs.
Slip and fall accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury in California and the Bay Area. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of every five falls causes a serious injury such as a broken bone or traumatic brain injury. Falls are also the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries nationwide. In California, slip and fall claims fall under the broader premises liability laws.
Each year, more than 800,000 people are hospitalized due to fall-related injuries, often for head injuries or hip fractures, as reported by the CDC. In California, the California Department of Public Health confirms that falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults and account for tens of thousands of hospitalizations annually.
Locally, the Santa Clara County Public Health Department highlights falls as a major public health issue, particularly among seniors, noting that fall injuries are a leading cause of emergency room visits and hospital stays for older residents.
These statistics underscore the risks fall victims face in San Jose and the importance of seeking legal help when injuries are caused by someone else’s negligence.
After a serious accident, many fall victims are unsure of their legal rights. California law allows injured victims to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible property owner when a fall occurred due to negligence. The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in California is generally two years from the date of the injury.
You may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Medical expenses – including hospital bills, rehabilitation, and future medical treatment
Lost wages – if your injuries prevent you from working
Pain and suffering – covering physical pain, emotional distress, and chronic pain
Long-term care – for lasting injuries such as spinal cord injuries or severe burns
Wrongful death claims – if a fatal accident occurs due to a slip and fall
Our San Jose personal injury lawyers can explain your rights, evaluate your case, and help you determine the best path to recovering compensation. Missing the statute of limitations deadlines may preclude your opportunity to recover damages.
Our attorneys provide comprehensive support throughout the legal process:
Conducting a free case evaluation to assess your slip and fall claim
Gathering medical records, witness statements, and accident reports

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
