San Mateo Attorney Handles Falls on Slippery Floors
Serious personal injury can occur when a person slips and falls on a slippery floor. The tile floors in grocery stores, department stores and other retail establishments are the most common locations for these falling accidents. For example, store personnel often fail to post a sign or otherwise adequately warn patrons of spills or other unsafe conditions, while may fail to mop or clean slippery floors during busy times.
If you have taken a fall that injured you and you believe a store proprietor or other property owner was negligent in regard to a slippery floor, contact attorney Reuben J. Donig as soon as possible to discuss your slip-and-fall injuries and potential to recover damages.
Fast Action Is Often Critical After a Slippery Floor Accident
Although your injuries from a fall on a slippery floor may be very serious — ranging from joint injuries or limb fractures to severe back or head injuries — these are often extremely challenging cases for establishing liability. Fast action is important in a slip-and-fall case, because the longer you wait, the more likely it is that the condition will be corrected and evidence will be gone.
Working Every Angle on a Challenging Personal Injury Case
If Mr. Donig believes you have a case, we will do everything possible to gather the evidence to obtain the compensation you need. In cases involving slippery floors, these actions may include:
- Obtaining a video recording of the accident from surveillance cameras
- Soliciting corroborating testimony from witnesses who saw you fall or will confirm that the slippery floor created an unsafe condition
- Gathering credible medical evidence and testimony as to the full impact and long-term consequences of your injuries
After a fall causing serious injury, many people have no idea what action to take. Even though the existence of a slippery floor or other unsafe condition may be challenging to prove after the fact, we encourage you to contact us. Attorney Reuben Donig has obtained favorable outcomes in virtually all types of personal injury cases and he will be glad to assess your situation and provide helpful counsel.
