Recovering Damages After a Slip,Trip and Fall Accident in California
Slip, trip and fall accidents can happen in an instant, but their effects can last a lifetime. Premises liability cases allow injured victims to hold property owners accountable for unsafe conditions. At G&I Law Group, we have a proven track record of results for clients harmed in slip, trip and fall incidents.
According to the National Floor Safety Institute, over 1 million people visit Emergency Rooms every year for fall injuries. Floors, sidewalks, aisles, stairs or other walking surfaces can pose dangers when wet, cluttered, uneven or poorly maintained. Hazards like these often lead to painful and costly injuries.

The claims process is complex, especially when questioning negligence by businesses, employers or other entities with resources to defend themselves. Our experienced attorneys can navigate the system for you.
Factors in Slip, Trip and Fall Claims
