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
