When to Contact a Los Angeles Slip and Fall Lawyer
Filing a personal injury claim after a slip and fall accident allows you to recover damages based on the losses you sustained. If you want to move your claim forward, you must bring forward enough evidence to prove that someone else, be that a landowner or a third party, bears the blame for your losses.
Moreover, you have an obligation to bring your claim forward before your statute of limitations expires. Cal. Civ. Code § 335.1, California’s statute of limitations, gives you no more than two years to gather all of the data you need to make your case.
If you want to make the most out of that two-year period, we encourage you to contact an experienced slip and fall accident lawyer. Los Angeles staff members can gather data and compile it into a claim while you prioritize your health and career.
What to Know About Filing a Slip and Fall Insurance Claim
Most landowners pay for some kind of insurance. That insurance may provide them with enough coverage to support you following an accident on their property. Does this mean you should file an insurance claim after a slip and fall accident? You can, but we encourage you to be as careful as possible.
The insurance claims adjusters who work with landowners want to protect their clients and their business. They are not on your side. If you want to prevent an insurance claims adjuster from taking advantage of you, make sure that you:
- Minimize your conversations with these parties
- Avoid giving a recorded or written statement to an insurance claims adjuster
- Carefully consider any settlement offers made in haste
Insurance claims adjusters may attempt to use bad-faith tricks to deny you the right to an insurance claim. It’s with that risk in mind that we recommend you contact a slip and fall lawyer as soon as you can after your accident.
Our team is ready to step in and communicate with an insurance claims adjuster on your behalf if that adjuster tries to act in bad faith. Our efforts can help you get the support you need from an insurance company while maintaining your right to file a personal injury claim.
Insurance Claims Versus Slip and Fall Accident Claims
As mentioned, filing a personal injury claim allows you to recover damages based on losses sustained due to negligence that leads to a slip and fall accident. Unlike an insurance claim, personal injury claims allow you to recover damages based on your intangible – or “non-economic” – losses in addition to your economic expenses.
How Do Lawyers Prove Your Right to Damages?
Our Los Angeles slip and fall Lawyers help you prove your right to slip and fall accident damages by bringing forward evidence to tie certain losses to your accident. So long as we have enough data to meet the state’s burden of proof, we can win the opportunity to either negotiate for your right to support or take your case to trial.
The data that we can use to identify a liable party and outline your right to damages may include the following:
- Physical debris from the accident
- Photos of unsafe property
- Video footage of your accident
- Statements from bystanders
- Expert witness testimony attesting to the dangers of an untended property
- Medical statements going into detail about your accident
The majority of slip and fall accident cases are resolved out of court. You can learn more about the ways you can fight for fair accident compensation by scheduling a FREE case evaluation with Omega Law Group.

- Medical expenses, including ambulance fees
- Physical therapy and pain management
