Slip Fall Trip Fall

California Trip-and-Fall Accident and Premises Liability Attorney

Slip/trip and falls are a major cause of injury in the United States. For seniors, they are the No. 1 cause of accidental injury and death. Most falls are the result of either an unsafe walking surface or inadequate lighting. Most falls could have been prevented if the property owners had complied with regulations and standards for safe walking conditions. Everyone should have the right expect that walking surfaces (sidewalks, stairs, parking lots, and floors) are safe. Any person who has suffered a slip-and-fall injury knows that the impact can be life altering, causing serious injury to the head, neck or back. At the Law Office of Kent Heeringa, we are focused on helping our clients maximize compensation after severe injury caused by slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents.

You Deserve Compensation After a Serious Injury

Often people who suffer a slip-and-fall injury do not realize that they are entitled to compensation. Many times the injured victim wrongly blames themselves for not watching where they were going. But, studies in human factors and in the way people walk show that most unsafe conditions would not have been observed by the victim before they fell. Attorney Heeringa will work to preserve the evidence of unsafe condition, obtain the applicable regulations and standards, and assemble top experts to establish your right to recovery.

We are experienced in cases involving:

  • Uneven surfaces
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Unsafe sidewalks, stairs, store aisles, floors, and parking lots
  • Slippery surfaces
  • Improper signs or inadequate warnings
  • Unsafe premises
  • Improper construction and maintenance of walkway and sidewalks
  • Public or private property

Accidental Injury and Death Involving Seniors

Seniors are more susceptible to falls. Inevitable changes in gait, vision and balance contribute to this susceptibility. A slip and fall for a senior can be catastrophic. Bones are more susceptible to fractures and their recovery from injury is longer. For seniors, falls are the number one cause of accidental injury and death. Everyone – especially seniors – need safe places to walk. Attorney Kent Heeringa is committed contributing to a safe walking environment and helping slip/trip and fall victims get the compensation they need to heal and move forward.
