Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents
Palm Springs Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Personal Injury Lawyer for the Coachella Valley, California
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from scrapes and bruises to broken bones, sprains, head, neck, and back injuries, or even wrongful death. When these types of accidents occur due to the negligence of a property owner, the property owner may be held liable for damages connected with the injuries. Those who own, manage, or occupy both public and private property are responsible to provide a reasonably safe environment to anyone who visits their premises as a guest, patron, or customer. If a hazardous condition exists on the premises, the owner or manager should remedy the situation as soon as possible and post warning signs to advise others of the danger.

Common Slip and Fall Hazards
Being injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident due to negligence is considered a premises liability matter. If you or someone you know has been injured on someone’s property, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
The following are some common slip and fall hazards:
- Wet floors
- Pot holes
- Ripped up carpeting
- Dim lighting
- Uneven stairs or floors
- Broken concrete
- Debris on walkways
Proving Liability in Slip and Fall Cases
In an injury lawsuit, the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that your accident could have been prevented with proper diligence from the property owner. Far too often, stores conveniently lose or erase video tapes showing the accident occurring or the scene right before the accident. The faster you hire an attorney, the sooner they can start investigating and collecting all evidence that proves your claim.
In order to get compensation for the injuries you sustained in a slip and fall accident, you must be able to demonstrate the property owner's liability. At Barry Regar APLC, our slip and fall lawyers are backed by years of experience and they are mindful of the difficulties involved in these types of cases. They will be able to help you in putting together the proof you need to demonstrate liability.
Key elements in demonstrating fault in falls and slipping include:
- Signs of unsafe conditions, such as damp flooring, uneven floors, or poor lighting
- Documentation that the owner of the property should have understood through a reasonable inspection that unsafe conditions existed
- Demonstrating that the condition of the property caused your injuries directly
When you partner with our firm, you can count on us to gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and create a compelling case to make the negligent party answerable for your injuries.
