Injury Causing Accident Clams We Handle at BD&J
Some personal injury accidents we manage and pursue include car accidents, motorcycles, pedestrians, trucks, ridesharing like Lyft or Uber rides, product defect claims and dog bite attacks. If the accident or injury-producing incident occurred in Ventura County, or if you reside in a city within Ventura, your claim will then be filed within the proper jurisdiction.
Some of the accidents involve slip and falls and laws regarding premises liability, which means a duty of care was owed to the harmed or injured plaintiff and that duty was violated causing you direct and physical harm. Such circumstances can happen in a supermarket, where a liquid or oil or substance was spilled by accident but was not inspected in a timely manner or properly cleaned up. An unknowing shopper in the market, who had a right to be in the market at the time, slips and falls on the substance breaking her hip and requiring surgery and multiple visits to pain management and other healthcare providers. In such a situation, the shopper can sue the supermarket in a premises liability cause of action but would need to show it was 1) owed a duty as it was rightfully on the premises and not trespassing at the time, 2) the market’s failure to warn or guard the shopper of the dangerous condition, 3) the shopper suffered injuries, and 4) the defendant’s negligence caused your injury.
Under California law, the owner must have owned, leased, occupied or controlled the property. The defendant must be shown to have been negligent in maintaining and using the property.
