San Jose Trip and Fall Attorney

Have you been involved in a trip & fall accident?

Similar to slip and falls, cases involving a trip and fall are typically classified as a premises liability case. This is due to the fact that in most of these cases, the owner and manager of the property that the accident took place on can be held responsible for the injuries that were incurred. In most situations, had proper care and caution been taken in the upkeep of the property, the accident could have been completely avoided.

In a trip and fall, injury will occur when the foot is caught or when it comes up against a physical barrier. Unlike a slip and fall, this is not typically due to a slippery situation, such as a puddle of spilled water, but rather from something obstructing motion. For example, uneven sidewalk could lead to a foot catching on an edge. Similarly, loose carpeting or rickety stairs could all create a hazardous situation that can lead to catastrophic injury for the victim.
