Slip and fall accidents are common in California, often resulting in serious injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered a slip and fall injury that was caused by a property owner’s negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation. That’s where J&Y Law comes in.
The law firm of J&Y helps accident victims in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, San Bernardino County, San Francisco County, and Sacramento County. Our experienced slip and fall attorneys understand the pain and suffering that can result from an accident, and we are committed to helping our clients receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.
Our dedicated personal injury attorneys are highly experienced in handling slip and fall accident claims and have a proven history of achieving positive results, having recovered millions of dollars for our clients. While injuries due to slips and falls are typically covered by the owner’s property insurance, obtaining the full value of your claim can be challenging.
Insurance companies often attempt to delay or deny claims or assign blame to the injury victim. We will leverage our skills and experience to level the playing field, protect you from liability, and fight for just compensation, whether through negotiation or litigation.
At J&Y, our personal injury attorneys handle all slip and fall accident cases on a contingency basis, which means there is never a fee until we recover for you. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Why You Need a California Slip and Fall Attorney
Slip and fall accidents are governed by California premises liability law, which requires all owners of private, commercial, and public property to maintain their property, provide a safe environment to visitors, and adequately warn them of any hazardous conditions.
When a slip and fall injury occurs because the property owner failed to maintain the property or repair a dangerous condition, the owner can be held liable through a premises liability lawsuit. Given the challenges of recovering damages in an accident, it is wise to have an experienced attorney handle your claim.
Whether you have been injured in an accident at a grocery store in Los Angeles, on a trail in Golden Gate Park, or on your neighbor’s property, you deserve just compensation for the harm you have endured. Trust our slip and fall lawyers to help you obtain the medical and financial resources you need to recover.
