How Can You Prove Negligence in Slip and Fall Accidents in Woodland Hills?

Slip and fall accidents are categorized under a specific area of personal injury law known as premises liability. Under California law, Woodland Hills business owners and property managers have a duty of care to maintain their premises in a safe and reasonable manner to protect customers and visitors from avoidable injuries.

According to the California Civil Jury Instructions No. 1000, an injured party that claims that their injuries resulted from a dangerous condition on public property is required to show the following:

 

          1. That [defendant] owned/leased/occupied/controlled the property;
          2. That [defendant] was negligent in the use or maintenance of the property;
          3. That [plaintiff] was harmed; and
          4. That [defendant]’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing [plaintiff]’s harm.

 

To be successful in your slip and fall case, you must prove these elements of premises liability. Let an experienced Woodland Hills slip and fall attorney join your side to help you make a case and provide proof of property negligence.

How Does Location Impact Slip and Fall Claims?

Location impacts slip and fall claims by influencing the legal framework, venue selection, local standards, jury attitudes, expert witness availability, and insurance practices.

Our attorneys understand the Woodland Hills jurisdiction where the incident occurred and effectively navigate these complexities.

How to Prove Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case:

Property and business owners are obligated to ensure their property is maintained and safe. When they don’t, the negligent owner can be held liable. Proving negligence in California requires presenting evidence that the owner should have known about the hazardous condition, failed to address it, or provide adequate warnings, and that negligence directly led to your slip and fall incident.

Examples of Conditions Leading to Slip and Falls:

Conditions leading to slip and fall accidents include:

  • Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, leaks, or freshly mopped surfaces without proper warning signs.
  • Loose Flooring or Tiles: Loose tiles or floorboards that create tripping hazards.
  • Uneven Surfaces: Uneven pavements, cracked sidewalks, or damaged flooring.
  • Loose or Torn Carpets: Loose rugs or carpets that create tripping hazards.
  • Cluttered Walkways: Obstacles, debris, or clutter in walkways or aisles.
  • Damaged Sidewalks: Cracked or crumbling pavement, and uneven grading.
  • Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit areas that make it difficult to see hazards.
  • Ice or Snow Accumulation: Slippery ice or snow on sidewalks or parking lots.
  • Uneven Stairs or Steps: Steps with uneven risers or treads.
  • Lack of Handrails: Staircases without handrails or with damaged handrails.
  • Spilled Liquids: Spilled liquids like water, oil, or grease in public areas.
  • Broken or Inadequate Handrails: Damaged, loose, or missing handrails.

  • Debris or Obstacles: Objects left in walkways or aisles.
  • Inadequate Signage: Lack of warning or caution signs indicating hazards.
