Slip and fall accidents occurring in stores and shopping centers can have a devastating effect on your life. As the injured party, you have a legal right to seek compensation for everything you have lost as a result of the accident, including past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, and lost enjoyment of life.
At the law firm of Mathew & George in Los Angeles, our lawyers are advocates for the injured. If you have been hurt in a slip and fall or other accident occurring in a store or shopping center, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Stores and shopping centers in California have a duty to protect guests and shoppers from injuries caused by dangerous property conditions. Examples of dangerous conditions in a store or shopping center include:
Even though the liability for an injury may seem clear, most stores and shopping center owners will do anything they can to avoid paying damages. For example, the premises owner may claim that you suffered your injury in a prior accident or that you didn't look where you were going.
California law says that store owners need to have notice of an unsafe condition before they are liable. However, it's not always clear whether the store owner received or failed to receive this notice. Our lawyers can litigate your personal injury claim even if the store owner claims they didn't know about the unsafe condition. For example, in the case of a spilled substance, our lawyers can find out who was scheduled to clean that day and whether they worked their rotation.
