Reasons to Submit a Slip and Fall Accident Claim in Riverside
If you do nothing after slipping, falling, and getting hurt on another party’s property, you may wind up taking responsibility for all of your losses.
On the other hand, if you have a slip and fall accident attorney serving Riverside help you file a claim, you could receive compensation for the harm that you’ve suffered.
Your lawyer is focused on getting you case results that align with your expectations. If you file a slip and fall accident claim, your attorney can negotiate a settlement with a liable party’s insurance company. They can keep you updated if a settlement offer is made. If no settlement agreement comes to fruition, you and your attorney can move forward with a lawsuit.

When to Submit a Slip and Fall Injury Claim
File a claim if you are injured in a slip and fall accident, and someone else may be liable for the incident. Doing so is an opportunity to secure compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company. A Riverside slip and fall accident lawyer can guide you through the claims process and help you make informed decisions at each stage.
Your attorney is familiar with the deadlines to sue someone in California. Per state law, you may have up to two years from the day of your slip and fall on another party’s premises to submit your claim. Beyond this period, you may be responsible for all of your losses from this incident.
Unfortunately, the claims process can be complicated. A liable party’s insurer may dispute your claim or offer you a lowball settlement.
Your attorney will handle your insurance settlement negotiations and keep you updated about them. If you don’t get a settlement offer that provides you with adequate compensation, your lawyer may advise you to sue for damages.

How Much Money Is Available to You in a Slip and Fall Accident Lawsuit
In terms of how much your injury case is worth, your personal injury attorney will account for your losses from your slip and fall on someone else’s property. They want you to obtain economic and non-economic damages for various reasons, such as:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Burial and funeral expenses if you lose a family member in a fatal slip and fall accident
Your attorney wants you to prioritize your recovery from your slip and fall while they seek compensation on your behalf. They may look at surveillance camera footage of your accident, interview witnesses who saw it happen, and take other measures to investigate. Doing these things and others may help your lawyer craft an argument centered on negligence.

What to Do to Prove Negligence in a Slip and Fall Accident Case
You may claim that someone did something that led to your slip and fall accident and injuries. Regardless, the burden of proof falls on you. If you can’t convince a judge or jury that this party was negligent, you are unlikely to recover damages.
Prior to trial, your attorney can develop an argument based on negligence. They want their argument to show that an at-fault party committed a careless or reckless act, which put you in danger. Your attorney can also highlight that because of this act, you were injured due to no fault of your own.
Your lawyer may utilize a police report, accident scene photos, witness statements, and other proof in their argument. If your attorney has an abundance of evidence, it becomes incredibly difficult for an at-fault party to dispute your damages request.
"Our goal is to remove the stress of the case from you, so you can focus on treating your injuries and begin your road to recovery."

The Role of Pure Comparative Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case
Pure comparative negligence can impact the outcome of your slip and fall case. Defined in accordance with California Civil Code § 1714, pure comparative negligence allows you to recover damages in a slip and fall case, even if you’re partly liable for the harm that you’ve suffered.
For example, a judge or jury rules that you’re 30% at fault for injuries that you suffered in a slip and fall on someone else’s premises. You may receive 70% of the damages that you originally requested and have to cover the rest of your losses out of pocket.
With pure comparative negligence, you may be 99% at fault for your slip and fall and still receive 1% of the damages that you initially requested.
Your lawyer wants to prove to a judge or jury that you’re in no way liable for your slip and fall. If your attorney is successful, you are well-equipped to get the case outcome that you want.
