Slip-And-Fall Accident Lawyer In Orange County

Representing People Injured In Slip and Fall Accidents In Mission Viejo Irvine and Orange County

Premises liability is often associated with slip and fall or tripping accidents. All property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises reasonably safe from dangerous hazards.

When such a condition does cause a slip, trip or fall injury, the property owner could be liable for the damages.

If your slip and fall accident occurred in a store or as a result of a property owner’s negligence, you may have a solid personal injury claim and be entitled to compensation. The Law Firm of Rivers Morrell helps clients who have been wrongfully injured on another’s property.

3 Things You Need to Know About a Slip and Fall Injury Case:

1. If you are injured in a commercial business or store or a residential property like a condo or apartment building it is absolutely possible to hold the owner of the store or property financially responsible for your injuries, recovery, past, present and future medical bills, missed work (wages), as well as fair and just compensation for all you have been forced to endure along the way.
2. These cases require immediate preservation of important evidence such as video and work-related logs and maintenance records.  It is important to act quickly to preserve evidence.
3. You need to see a trauma physician in the first 48 hours after the accident, even if you don’t think you are seriously injured.  Many injuries take days or weeks before symptoms appear.

A passenger in the front seat of a car driven by her husband arrived at the park with a grandchild. As she stepped out of the car her foot went into a large crevice in the parking lot. Her resulting fall left her with a broken hip. Several surgeries later, the last of which was a hip replacement, the case was settled for upper mid six figures. No one witnessed the fall and the municipality that owns the park fought the claim. The initial offer from insurance was $25,000. CLICK HERE to watch Jeannie’s story below.

The 3 Questions we are most often asked about slip and fall or premises liability cases:

1. Can we prove a store or property owner was negligent and responsible for your injuries?  The answer is absolutely “yes.”  Those who are open to public access including store owners, apartment complexes and even public parks and public buildings are responsible for the safety of those who visit their premises.  There are a wide variety of evidence sources including video, maintenance and inspection logs, the testimony of other witnesses, obvious property issues and even improperly designed facilities or access.  While most law firms won’t accept a slip and fall injury case, the Law Firm of Rivers Morrell has extensive experience and successful results over 40+ years.

3. Can you hold a public entity like the bus, train or even a park responsible for any injuries you experience? The answer is quite often “yes.”  This is especially true if there are issues they should have attended to (such as the cracks in the parking lot in the above case) or the reckless operation or maintenance issues associated with a bus or train.

An elderly doctor was entering a burger shop in the Big Bear area. There is a landing that you step onto to enter the shop. It is about 8 inches high, and probably 3’ x 4’. You step up from the ground. He was opening the door, when he fell off the landing and fractured his hip, and had some complications. The case settled for the policy limits. This was a very, very difficult liability case, that many attorneys turned down.
