Oakland Slip And Fall Attorney

Sacramento Premises Liability Lawyer

Slip and Fall • Drowning • Elevator and Escalator Injuries

Falls, electrocution, drowning, loss of limbs — the injuries that can occur on a poorly maintained property can be serious, event fatal. The law requires property owners to take steps to ensure the safety of those who are lawfully on their property. But "premises liability" laws are different depending upon whether the property is public, private, or government property.

If you were injured because of a property owner's negligence, contact a lawyer who has experience with California premises liability law — and do so quickly, especially if you were injured on government property. You have a limited amount of time to bring a claim, and it must be done in the proper manner.

Since 1951, the personal injury attorneys of Furtado, Jaspovice & Simons LC have helped thousands of injured people get the compensation they need and deserve for their medical bills, lost wages, and financial losses.

Your premises liability, slip and fall case requires immediate investigation

Evidence disappears quickly as property owners clean up in the aftermath of an accident and quickly move to fix the conditions that caused the injury. Handrails get installed. Warning signs appear. Carpet is replaced. Without swift investigation it becomes difficult to prove premises liability cases in court.

That's why the Hayward law offices of Furtado, Jaspovice & Simons LC has experienced investigators on staff to promptly gather evidence.

Premises liability, slip and fall cases can be very serious

Many people hear "slip and fall", fell and think it is a frivolous case. We know differently. Slip-and-fall accidents can cause serious, even life-threatening head injuries and spinal cord injuries. Slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents can happen in many ways:

Missing or broken handrails or broken or missing lights in stairwells
Icy pavement or steps
Broken sidewalks or, deep potholes in parking lots
Wet floors that aren't marked with warning signs
Frayed carpets or rugs bunched up in doorways
Unmarked steps down or up when entering or exiting a business

Other kinds of serious injury that can occur on a property include:

Being struck by falling debris at a construction site or falling merchandise at a store
Electrocutions from faulty electrical wiring or badly positioned electric cords
Faulty maintenance on fencing, failing to have a self-closing gate or self-latching fence
Swimming pools that are not up to code
Elevators or escalators that are not leveled properly
