Northridge Valley Slips, Trips, and, Falls Lawyers
Slips, Trips, and Falls
Slips, Trips, and Falls account for nearly 16,000 deaths in the United States each year. Approximately 75% of these accidents are the result of negligence of the property owner. Construction workers are at a greater risk for these types of accidents due to the nature of their work.
Slips and falls on a job site, come in many forms. One way is slipping on a spilled liquid that has not been properly cleaned up. These type of slip and fall accidents may seriously injure your leg, hip, arm or back. Additionally, a slip and fall of this type could cause serious brain damage or spinal cord injury. Trip and fall accidents occur when someone's foot comes in contact with a permanent or semi-permanent object on the job site. This type of accident may result in severe head trauma, broken bones and injury to the face. Falls on a job site can cause serious injury or death. Falling from a high elevation could result in injury to the head, spinal cord, brain, internal organs, broken bones, and many other injuries that would require a lifetime of rehabilitation and medical care.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a slip, trip or fall accident on a construction site, you will need an experienced legal team to assist you in navigating the complicated laws in determining negligence. The Mandell Law firm has extensive knowledge of the law and we get to know our clients on a personal level so that we can assist you in every way possible so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
If it is determined that a property owner should have known about a dangerous situation on the job site that caused your accident, because a "reasonable" person would have found the problem and taken care of it, you may be entitled to damages beyond what Workers' Compensation will provide. There are dangerous hazards everywhere on a construction job site and it is your right to expect that spills will be cleaned up properly and signs will be posted when there is a danger or if a hazardous condition exists that you need to be aware of. Additionally it is your right to have the security of knowing that your co-workers are properly trained in safety procedures.
In the event that our legal team's investigation turns up evidence to show that a third party was negligent and that is what caused your accident, you may be entitled to a compensation package that includes:
- Lifetime medical care
- Temporary, partial or permanent disability
- Rehabilitation or retraining
- Wage replacement benefits
- Loss of earning capacity
- Enforcement of awards/penalties
