Attorney Advice On Slip & Fall Accidents (Premises Liability)

Experienced defense attorney Narbeh Shirvanian of The Shirvanian Law Firm in Glendale, California, explains the most critical actions to take after a premises liability accident to preserve your rights and win compensation. You may be entitled to a settlement after a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident. However, if you fail to document the circumstances of your accident thoroughly, you may not have grounds to file a slip-and-fall accident claim. Narbeh explains that if you don’t know what caused you to slip, trip, or fall, neither a lawyer nor premises liability law can work in your favor. Without direct cause, for example, ice or spilled liquid, a lawyer cannot prove what occurred or who is at fault. Since you must file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance to win compensation in a slip-and-fall settlement, you must prove direct cause and clear negligence. According to Narbeh, the best way to ensure you receive an appropriate slip-and-fall settlement is to prove premises liability negligence by thoroughly and extensively documenting the scene of your accident. He recommends taking pictures of the scene, including what made you fall, such as liquid on the floor or your clothing which may have absorbed a spill as you landed. Photographs or videos should also capture posted warning signs or lack of signage warning you of the danger. Many public places like supermarkets also use video surveillance. Narbeh advises photographing any cameras you notice that point in the direction of the accident. Documenting a camera’s existence can indicate that footage of the incident may exist. If the at-fault party claims that there is no video evidence, your lawyer can use your picture to bolster your claim with a jury. By photographing the scene, you preserve evidence your lawyer can use to build your case. Even if you aren’t sure exactly what caused you to fall, photo and video documentation gives your lawyer the foothold they need to create a solid defense.
