Orange County Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Did You Fall on Someone Else's Property?
Were you injured in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident at someone else's home or business?

How Do I Prove That the Property Owner Is at Fault?
In order to recover financial compensation for injuries suffered in a slip/trip and fall, you must be able to prove that certain elements existed at the time of the accident.
For example, you will need to show that one of the following is true in order to establish that the property owner was at fault:
- The owner or an employee created the hazardous conditions;
- The owner knew about the hazardous conditions and did nothing about it; and/or
- The owner should have reasonably known about the hazardous conditions.
The third situation is by far the most common, as most property owners are usually wary of admitting fault outright. Under these circumstances, you will need to show that another "reasonable" person in the same situation would have noticed and remedied the hazard in a timely manner.
