What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall accidents occur when a person is injured on someone else’s property due to dangerous or hazardous conditions that the property owner failed to address. These accidents are a leading cause of emergency room visits and can result in severe injuries, particularly for older adults.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, broken stairs, poor lighting, missing handrails, cluttered walkways, ice or snow accumulation, and defective flooring. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of known hazards.
Slip and fall injuries can be serious and life-altering, including hip fractures, broken wrists and arms, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, torn ligaments, and soft tissue damage. Recovery can be lengthy, expensive, and may result in permanent disability.
At Novian & Novian, our slip and fall attorneys investigate the circumstances of every accident, document hazardous conditions, and hold property owners accountable for their failure to maintain safe premises.
How Can a Slip and Fall Lawyer Help You?

FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions:
How Do I Prove a Slip and Fall Claim?
To succeed in a slip and fall case, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to fix it or warn about it, and that the condition caused your injury. Evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements is crucial.
What Should I Do After a Slip and Fall Accident?
Seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, photograph the hazardous condition and your injuries, get witness contact information, preserve your clothing and footwear, and contact a slip and fall attorney.
How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Claim?
In California, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury for private property. Claims against government entities (public sidewalks, government buildings) require an administrative claim within six months.
What Compensation Can I Recover for a Slip and Fall?
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, and reduced quality of life.
Can I File a Claim If I Slipped on a Wet Floor Without a Warning Sign?
Yes. If a property owner failed to place warning signs near a known wet or slippery surface, they may be liable for your injuries. This is one of the most common forms of premises liability negligence.
What If I Was Partially at Fault for My Fall?
California’s pure comparative negligence allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
