A slip and fall is a common accident in which a person slips on in his or her path and falls in the process. These slip, and falls often happen in the stores we shop in, in the restaurants we frequent, or in their attendant parking lots. When you are on foot and heading into a store from your vehicle or in a store or restaurant, you probably aren’t very concerned about your safety because, you are a welcome guest in a public space.

Under California law,  you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries if a property owner is found liable for the accident as a result of the owner’s actions which created the risk or the owner’s failure to take action which could have mitigated the risk. Additionally, property owners and managers of commercial properties in California owe visitors who have the intent to conduct an economic transaction a heightened duty of care. For example, a property owner has a duty to warn and/or protect an invitee of all known and knowable dangers. Common dangers can include wet or slippery floors, bad lighting, food and debris on the floor left for an unreasonable amount of time, stairs that our not built to code, loose carpeting and many other conditions.
