Slip and Fall Accidents

According to the National Safety Council, slips, trips, and falls accounted for about 33 percent of nonfatal preventable injuries and 21 percent of unintentional injury deaths in the United States in 2020.

These accidents are often caused by the negligent behavior of businesses, government entities, and other parties. When such a situation occurs, California law gives injured individuals the right to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in California

The most common causes of slip and fall accidents in the state of California include:

• Ripped and uneven flooring
• Unsafe and poorly maintained railings
• Debris and other obstructions in walkways
• Wet and slippery floors, and
• Dark or poorly lit stairways

Property owners in California have a duty to keep their premises safe. If property owners do not maintain their floors, railings, and stairways, courts can hold them liable for injuries sustained by their visitors.

Compensation in Newport Beach Slip and Fall Cases

The amount of compensation Newport Beach residents receive after suffering injuries in slip and fall accidents varies significantly from one case to the next. People who suffer injuries that leave them permanently disabled or disfigured tend to receive the most substantial awards.

When calculating compensation, judges typically consider factors such as:

• The cost of the plaintiff’s medical treatment
• The plaintiff’s ongoing care costs
• The amount of time the plaintiff missed from work
• The affect the plaintiff’s injury will have on their earning capacity
• The mental anguish the plaintiff endured, and
• The impact the plaintiff’s injury will have on their overall quality of life

In some cases, the judge will also consider whether the defendant acted maliciously. If they did, the court may award punitive damages.
