Reasons for Failure to Warn Slip and Fall Accidents in California
Anyone can slip and fall, but most of these accidents are caused by:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Broken steps or poorly secured banisters
- Frayed or uneven carpeting
- Unmarked obstacles on walkways
- Poorly lit hallways
- Uneven sidewalks
- Unsecured rugs
Slip and fall accidents can occur on a neighbor’s sidewalk, at the grocery store, in the parking lot of a commercial office building, or at a government location like the post office. It doesn’t matter where it happens for you to recover damages.
As mentioned above, California premises liability law requires all property owners – private, commercial, public – to maintain their property and warn visitors of any unrepaired hazards.
Regardless of where you were injured, the negligent property can be held legally responsible. But it takes an experienced slip and fall accident attorney to protect your rights and win you the maximum compensation you deserve.

How J&Y Can Help
Premises liability claims are typically settled through negotiations with an insurance company, but insurers have the upper hand. A claims adjuster may attempt to offer as little as possible to settle your claim, or the insurance company’s attorneys may argue that you were to blame for the accident because you ignored a notice about the danger on the owner’s property.
Backed by our comprehensive knowledge of negligence law, we will fight to win you just compensation at the bargaining table or at trial. Once you become our client, we will:
- Conduct a thorough investigation – including photographing the site of the accident
- Interview witnesses
- Collect medical evidence documenting your injuries
- Handle all communication with the property owner and their attorney
- Negotiate a favorable settlement
- File a premises liability lawsuit, if necessary
In many cases, we can build a case strong enough to win a substantial settlement without the need for a jury trial. You can trust our team to fight for the compensation you deserve even if the negligent party falsely claims there was an adequate warning posted to protect you.
It is critically important to contact us as soon as possible before the hazard is repaired or a warning is posted after the fact. Above all, our slip and fall attorneys will fight for your rights in and out of the courtroom.

Other Factors in a Slip and Fall Claim
You should know that premises liability claims are governed by the rules of comparative negligence. This means that if you share responsibility for the accident that caused your injuries, you can still obtain damages, the final amount of your award will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
For example, if you slipped on an unmarked spill at the grocery store, but you were wearing flip flops or sandals, the insurance adjuster may claim that your loose footwear contributed to the fall that caused your injuries. So, if 20 percent of the fault is assigned to you, and your damages are assessed at $20,000, the final amount of your award will be $16,000.
Our experienced attorneys will work to limit your liability, make sure you are treated fairly, and demand full payment of your claim. If the insurance company fails to make a reasonable settlement offer, we will take them to court.
