Oceanside Slip and Fall Lawyer

Property owners owe a duty of care to all those who are on their land, in their home, or at their business. An owner who breaches that duty and causes injury can be subject to an Oceanside slip and fall lawsuit. The Oceanside slip and fall lawyers at Walton Law Firm know that many owners fail to do what they are legally required to do to keep others safe on their property, or ignore what is considered a "dangerous condition." The requirements placed upon property owners as matter of law are usually referred to under the general term “premises liability” or “slip-and-fall.” Under California law there are different rules about what specifically an owner is required to do to ensure that guests are not hurt.

At the very least the owner is required to warn unsuspecting guests about risks in their home, business, or land that the know about, or should know about. For example, if an employee recently mopped a floor, they should reasonably warn customers that the area may be wet by placing a “wet floor” sign in the area. In other cases the store owner may have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent certain risks. That means that store owners may need to conduct periodic checks to ensure floors are clean and devoid of any debris which may pose a fall risk to those walking in the area. A slip and fall attorney can help Oceanside residents hold stores accountable for not taking these precautions.

Premise liability injuries can occur in a variety of contexts including:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Exposure to toxic or hazardous substances (such as lead or mold)
• Drownings in unsafe swimming pools
• Dog bites
  
• Fire injuries caused by owners keeping their premises in unsafe conditions
• Uneven walkways
