Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer - Oakland, Alameda, Walnut Creek, San Ramon
Time is of the essence
Time is of the essence if you are injured due to a slip and fall accident. Sometimes, the property owner will alter the scene of the accident, and valuable evidence may quickly disappear. Whenever possible, a prompt investigation is best. The attorneys at Clancy & Diaz, LLP employ trained investigators who work alongside our attorneys to quickly investigate your claim.
In general, before an injured party may recover his or her medical expenses and pain and suffering, they need to show that a storeowner was "on notice" of the defective or dangerous condition and had sufficient time to make the necessary repair. An injured person may also be required to refute a storeowners's claim that he or she was aware of the risk and chose to proceed anyway, or some other similar tactic. Insurance companies know that it can be tricky to prove each element in a slip and fall case, and are therefore often unwilling to offer a fair settlement unless they are forced to do so.
To determine the cause of an injury, a law firm sometimes needs to hire engineers and accident reconstruction experts. Clancy & Diaz, LLP uses licensed, experienced engineers and experts to assist us in evaluating potential cases and as expert witnesses at trial.
