Question 1

What if I slipped and fell at a friend’s house?

Accepted Answer

While it may not be too late to file a claim. Home owners are liable for keeping their property safe, and often their insurance takes care of such incidents.

Question 2

If I wasn’t paying attention, can I still sue?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Although you may not receive the full amount you would otherwise be entitled to under California’s comparative negligence law, you are not precluded from recovery unless you are 100% at fault

Question 3

But what if there was no warning sign at the place where I fell?

Accepted Answer

The lack of warning signs frequently will improve your case, particularly if the danger was apparent and avoidable.

Question 4

I fell on a public sidewalk, can I sue the city?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided you file a claim with a government entity within 6 month of the injury.

Question 5

How much is my case worth?

Accepted Answer

Each case is unique. Factors include the severity of injury, cost of medical care, loss of earnings and long-term effects.
