      Rely on a San Jose attorney to handle your slip and fall claim

      If a fall caused you a significant injury that required medical treatment or caused you to miss work, you could hold the landowner liable for your damages. You could receive compensation for your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

      A San Jose slip and fall lawyer could help you build a strong case. Speak to an experienced attorney today.

      What are potential defenses to slip and fall claims?

      Although a property owner has a duty to keep guests out of harm’s way, California Civil Code §1714(a) requires a visitor to be cautious when on another person’s land. In some cases, responsible parties and their insurance companies question an injured person’s lack of care as a defense to a slip and fall claim.

      For example, if a dangerous condition was apparent, a landowner might argue that the injured person should have seen the hazard and avoided it. Similarly, if a property owner notified someone about the risk and ignored the warning, the guest could be partially responsible for their injuries.

      If an injured person’s conduct contributed to their accident, they may still be able to collect damages. However, the amount they collect will be reduced by their percentage of responsibility. A diligent lawyer in San Jose could preserve an injured person’s right to maximum damages by presenting evidence showing that their conduct contributed little to their fall.
