Slipping and falling on an unsafe surface is one of the most common causes of injury, both in the workplace and in our daily life. While everyone has been in that position at one time or another, it poses a serious risk to our health, with the risk growing as we grow older. Fortunately, California’s legislation allows you to file a personal injury claim in the case you are involved in a slip and fall accident
With years of experience behind us, our team of expert Bakersfield slip and fall lawyers can assist you in obtaining the fair compensation you deserve in the case you have an accident on unsafe premises. We believe that injuries caused by the negligence of others should never be the victim’s fault. We will fight to the best of our capabilities and beyond to make sure that the at-fault party is made accountable for its negligence.
While some of us might find it amusing when someone else slips and falls at the supermarket or slips on the oily floor of the gas station. Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. Injuries from slip and fall accidents are some of the most common reasons for admission into the ER. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 800,000 slip and fall victims are hospitalized each year.
Here are some of the most common causes of a slip and fall injury:
The most common places where this kind of accident happens include grocery stores, hotels, restaurants, resorts, private homes, small businesses, apartment buildings, office spaces, pool-sides, and someone else’s property, among others. Even if we think slipping and falling is our fault due to our own clumsiness, it’s the responsibility of the owner/manager of the premises to provide a safe environment.
The failure to do so can result in serious physical injuries for the accident victim. If you ever get involved in a slip and fall accident, it is important to contact your Bakersfield personal injury lawyer to get the compensatory damages you deserve.
According to the National Safety Council, 6.8 million accident victims were treated in emergency rooms for slip and fall-related injuries in 2019.

It is important to remember that no matter the extent of our injuries in a slip and fall accident, if the property is at fault for it, you are entitled to the maximum compensation for the damages and expenses you have to cover for your treatment.
