Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere. They can also happen for a variety of different reasons.
Sometimes, slip and fall accidents occur because property owners negligently fail to address such hazards as:
Personal injury law (PI) allows an injured person to file a civil lawsuit in court to recover damages from an accident or incident that is not their fault.
Personal injury means injuries including physical or mental which you have suffered due to another person’s negligence.
It also covers any property damage you have incurred as well at the time the injury took place. If you can prove that it is another person’s negligence that caused your injury you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the person at-fault.
If you are ever involved in a car accident, you may experience a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. Unfortunately, TBIs may cause victims to struggle with various cognitive impairments.
If you were injured in a car accident at an intersection, you may be able to file a claim if you were not to blame for the car crash.
You should be able to claim for the cost of medical treatment, loss of wages while you are unable to work, repair of your vehicle and non-economic damages calculated based on the pain and suffering caused to you due to a car accident at an intersection that was not your fault.
There are many possible causes of car crashes at an intersection including:
If you’ve been in a car accident one of the most important things to know is whether or not your state is an at-fault state.
In some states both parties are considered to be partially responsible for an accident in some circumstances. In other states the driver that caused the accident is solely at fault.
What determines car accident fault in California? California is an at-fault state when it comes to car accident fault.
Many car accidents are quite traumatic and it can be difficult to keep your cool if each driver involved points a finger at the other.
If you have been hit, or your car was damaged, you may have grounds to file a claim for compensation. The decision regarding who was responsible and whether damages should be paid is dependent on an analysis of the available evidence. This decision can be made by an insurer or left up to the court.
If you own a car in California, you should be aware of California liability law that makes the owner of the car liable for most, but not all, accident claims if there was another driver using their car and caused an accident.
California has what is called a limited liability law, which can mean that a car’s owner could have to pay thousands of dollars in damages despite the fact that they weren’t even in the car when the accident took place.
After a car accident, you may find that some injuries appear after some time has passed.
When these types of car accident injuries in which people don’t feel their symptoms until a few days or even a few weeks following the accident occur, the people with these injuries may feel as though they do not need any medical treatment right after the accident occurs. However, it is always better to see a doctor immediately following an auto accident as they can notice certain signs of delayed injuries’ effects.
If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, and you are confident that the accident was caused by another party—typically either the property owner or manager of the place where you slipped, or a local government department or agency responsible for road and sidewalk upkeep—then you may have filed a compensation claim.
