Causas comunes de accidentes por resbalones y caídas en Los Ángeles

Según el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad en Pisos, los resbalones y caídas representan aproximadamente un millón de visitas a salas de emergencia cada año. Aunque no son la principal causa de muertes en el lugar de trabajo, sí son la razón número uno de días laborales perdidos.

Las caídas pueden ocurrir por diversas razones, pero algunos factores son más comunes que otros:

  • Pisos irregulares o resbaladizos
  • Alfombras sueltas
  • Escaleras rotas o con peldaños desiguales
  • Barandales rotos o faltantes
  • Objetos o escombros en el camino
  • Aceras rotas o pavimento desnivelado
  • Cables eléctricos expuestos
  • Iluminación inadecuada

Un accidente por caída puede ocurrir en hogares privados, edificios de oficinas, pasillos de supermercados, complejos de apartamentos o incluso en propiedades gubernamentales. Estas caídas pueden causar lesiones graves como traumatismo craneoencefálico, daño en la médula espinal, fracturas y otras condiciones debilitantes.

Si ha resultado herido, los abogados de Moaddel Kremer & Gerome LLP pueden ayudarle a construir un caso sólido para obtener la máxima compensación posible.

¿Quién es responsable en un caso de resbalón y caída en California?

Las leyes de responsabilidad de locales en California establecen que los propietarios deben mantener sus instalaciones seguras para los visitantes. Si no toman las medidas necesarias para corregir un problema dentro de un tiempo razonable, pueden ser considerados responsables de las lesiones resultantes.

La responsabilidad depende del motivo por el que usted estaba en la propiedad:

  • Negocios y comercios: Supermercados, centros comerciales y restaurantes deben inspeccionar constantemente sus instalaciones en busca de peligros como líquidos derramados o mercancía caída y resolverlos de inmediato.
  • Hogares privados: Si visita la casa de un amigo, el dueño debe advertirle sobre cualquier peligro conocido (como escalones rotos o pisos desnivelados) para evitar accidentes.
  • Propiedades gubernamentales y de alquiler: Las agencias del gobierno y los propietarios de edificios tienen la misma obligación de advertir y corregir peligros lo antes posible.

Un abogado de resbalones y caídas en Los Ángeles puede investigar su caso y determinar quién es responsable. Contáctenos hoy mismo para conocer sus opciones legales.

Compensación en un caso de resbalón y caída en Los Ángeles, CA

La compensación que puede recibir dependerá de la gravedad de sus lesiones y el impacto en su vida. Los daños que puede reclamar incluyen:

  • Gastos médicos (tratamiento pasado, presente y futuro)
  • Terapias de rehabilitación (fisioterapia, terapia psicológica)
  • Pérdida de salarios y capacidad de generar ingresos
  • Dolor y sufrimiento
  • Pérdida de calidad de vida y disfrute de actividades diarias
  • Angustia emocional
  • Daños a la propiedad

Si el propietario actuó con negligencia grave o intencionalmente creó condiciones peligrosas, también podría tener derecho a reclamar daños punitivos, que buscan castigar al infractor y evitar que otros actúen de la misma manera.

¿Cómo puede ayudarme un abogado de resbalones y caídas en Los Ángeles?

Un accidente de resbalón y caída puede causar lesiones dolorosas y debilitantes, lo que conlleva costos médicos elevados, tratamientos de rehabilitación costosos e incluso la incapacidad para trabajar.

No importa si tropezó en una acera rota, un piso mojado o una escalera dañada, un abogado experimentado en accidentes por resbalón y caída puede evaluar su caso y hacer que el propietario rinda cuentas.

Nuestro objetivo es conseguirle la compensación financiera que necesita para cubrir sus pérdidas y seguir adelante con su vida.

¿Mi caso de resbalón y caída irá a juicio en California?

La mayoría de los casos de resbalones y caídas se resuelven fuera de los tribunales, sin necesidad de un juicio formal. Algunas reclamaciones se solucionan incluso antes de presentar una demanda.

Sin embargo, es posible que deba brindar testimonio bajo juramento en una declaración si la otra parte impugna su reclamo. Durante esta etapa, las partes recopilan pruebas y construyen sus argumentos.

Un abogado de resbalones y caídas en Los Ángeles lo preparará para la declaración y lo representará en cada paso del proceso para asegurarse de que sus derechos sean protegidos.

¿Cómo podemos ayudarle en Moaddel Kremer & Gerome LLP?

Aunque tiene derecho a recibir compensación, es probable que enfrente desafíos en el proceso. Contar con un abogado experto en resbalones y caídas en Los Ángeles lo coloca en la mejor posición para obtener el dinero que necesita y merece.

Lucharemos por sus intereses al:

  • Investigar la causa de su caída y determinar quién tuvo la culpa.
  • Consultar con médicos expertos para determinar el valor total de su caso.
  • Presentar una reclamación de compensación contra el propietario o empresa responsable.
  • Negociar con las aseguradoras para evitar que minimicen su pago.
  • Protegerlo si intentan culparlo del accidente.

¿Qué pasa si tuve parte de la culpa en mi caída?

Si usted contribuyó parcialmente al accidente (por ejemplo, si tropezó porque iba usando su celular), todavía puede recibir compensación.

Bajo la ley de negligencia comparativa de California, su compensación se reducirá según su porcentaje de culpa.

Ejemplo: Si le otorgan $10,000 en daños, pero se determina que tuvo 40% de la culpa, solo recibirá $6,000.

Las aseguradoras usarán esto en su contra para reducir su pago, pero un abogado experimentado en lesiones personales puede asegurarse de que la evaluación sea justa.

What should I do first after being involved in an accident?

After you are involved in an accident, the first thing to think about is your health. It is normal to be frightened or in shock but take a deep breath and assess your injuries. Where do you feel pain? How severe is the pain? If you are on the ground, can you safely get up? If you are in a vehicle, are you able to get out of the vehicle? If not, you should probably call for immediate medical attention.

Next, consider your surroundings. Where did the accident happen? How did it happen? What caused the accident? Are there any witnesses near the area? Whether you believe the accident was your fault or not, never admit fault to anyone at the scene. The more documentation you have regarding the accident the better. Take photographs and/or video of the scene, have anybody you are with do the same. Even if don’t feel injured, you never know what you may feel like in the coming hours or days so don’t just act like nothing happened. If you are at a place of business, ask for a manager and insist on completing a report. If you had a motor vehicle accident, call the police and make a report.

Then contact an attorney to consult with about your accident. Attorneys such as those at Moaddel Kremer LLP who specialize in the field of personal injury will discuss your case with you and help you decide if you should file a personal injury claim.

There are many different aspects to consider when determining whether you have a good personal injury claim. In order to recover for your injuries, you must be able to prove that someone else was at fault for your accident. The other person (or entity) must have either been negligent, reckless or committed an intentional act in causing the accident. For instance, if the other driver in a motor vehicle accident rear-ended your vehicle, it is highly likely that the other driver will found to be negligent. If someone hit you inside a bar without provocation, that is an intentional act for which a lawsuit for assault and battery can be brought. If the accident was only partially your fault and partially the fault of another, you can still make a personal injury claim based on the percentage for which the other party was at fault. You can expect that the other party will do their best to minimize their responsibility no matter the circumstances.

An experienced and skillful attorney can help you identify the potentially responsible parties that may not be clear to the average person. For example, the entity or entities responsible for a dangerous road or sidewalk may require research that is not always easily accessible for the public. Sometimes it takes the analysis of experts in the field to determine whether the manufacture or design of certain products should be held responsible when the product fails. It takes the collaboration of both attorney and client to fully understand the potential claim.

After you believe you can prove someone else was at fault, the next step is to prove the accident caused your damages. You can recover for both physical injury and emotional distress in the past and future. You can also recover for time that you missed from work or if you are unable to work in the future as a result of the accident. This is where the importance of seeking immediate medical treatment comes in. If you delay in obtaining medical treatment, the other party will argue that you could not really have been injured. The sooner you receive treatment, the easier it will be to get compensation. Moaddel Kremer has connections with doctors that will see you immediately and evaluate your injuries. Even if you do not have medical insurance, you can receive treatment on a lien basis where you do not have to pay anything for your treatment upfront.

Once attorney and client make the decision to go forward with the claim, the next step is to contact the responsible parties. The attorney will normally send a letter of representation to the other party involved and/or their insurance company to put them on notice of the claim. The attorney can then communicate with the other party on the client’s behalf and allow the client to focus on recovering from their injuries. The attorney will gather your medical records and bills to send to the responsible party to prove your damages.

The other party will start their own investigation of the incident by gathering documents and talking to potential witnesses. Your attorney will advocate your position and give them your version of events. The other party will almost always disagree with how you think the accident happened in an attempt to minimize their exposure. After being presented with the evidence supporting your claim, the other party will decide whether to make an offer or deny responsibility.

In California, there is a 2-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit. This gives the injured party 2 years from the date of the accident to go forward with the lawsuit. The lawsuit puts your claim into the court system and there are a number of rules that the parties must abide by once a lawsuit is filed. This allows the parties time during those 2 years to gather the necessary information to make a decision about how to proceed depending on what information is obtained. This also allows the client to receive the proper medical treatment, talk to witnesses and find out as much as possible about what happened.

You don’t have to wait the full 2 years but sometimes it is beneficial to not file the lawsuit immediately. Before you file the lawsuit, both sides may be motivated to negotiate to see if a settlement can be reached before going through the lawsuit process. There are instances when the insurance company would rather pay a settlement than have to fight a righteous lawsuit. Many cases resolve prior to a lawsuit being filed.

Moaddel Kremer is the first person I’ve called whenever I was in a collision and incurred personal injury. The reason is because I trust their advice and they have never misguided me and I’ve never lost a case with them. They have always stayed the course no matter how difficult the case. You can rely on them to come through for you! I highly recommend them as your go-to law firm.

I had a vehicle accident back in 2020 where I was initially placed at fault. Thankfully I hired this firm and they immediately changed the course of my case. My case settled a couple months later and I received great results. Through the years I have referred family and friends to Carl Kremer and his team and they have also had positive results.
