Slip and Fall
CA law imposes upon businesses an obligation to protect the public from unsafe conditions on the business’s premises. If a business fails to exercise the legally required duty of care and someone is injured as a result, there may be compensation available for injuries. At the Law Office of Joseph Richards, attorneys may employ a tenacious, professional approach to help clients seek full and fair compensation for their past and future medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
Legal Duty of CareIn order for a business to be found responsible for an accident, evidence must be shown to prove that a dangerous condition on the business premises caused injury and that at least one of the following is true:
- The owner or an employee caused the dangerous condition on the premises
- The owner or an employee knew about the dangerous condition on the premises and did nothing about it
- The owner or an employee should have known about the dangerous condition on the premises as would be expected of a reasonable person.
A property owner or manager may owe a different standard of care to different classes of visitors such as business visitors or social guests. We pursue optimal recovery based on the specific facts of a case.
Determined LitigatorsAttorneys consult with knowledgeable and respected experts while preparing a case. With the assistance of physicians, chiropractors and forensics engineers, attorneys may pursue the best possible settlements. At trial, these experts may be available to deliver clear, professional testimony so the jurors can understand the cause of the accident and the extent of injuries.
Timely Filing of a ClaimBy immediately consulting an attorney, one can help ensure the collection of valuable evidence. Lawyers at the Law Office of Joseph Richards thoroughly investigate every case and may visit the premises where the accident occurred to gather crucial evidence, photograph the accident scene and interview witnesses. With significant delay, one could forfeit her right to file a claim by missing the deadline set by CA law.
