Have you been the victim of a slip and fall accident due to somebody else’s negligence? If so you may be entitled to receive damages for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, general damages and fair value of any clothing or personal items that may have been damaged as a result of your incident. The state of California has strict laws that mandate corporations, municipalities, property owners and other businesses to maintain their premises to be safe for all people. Even though slip and fall accidents occur often it is still very difficult to prove negligence due to lack of evidence. In the past it was much more difficult to prove negligence against property owners and businesses due to the fact that such little evidence was able to be attained other than an eyewitness. Nowadays, with security cameras installed at most businesses this burden of proof is much easier to place on the establishment. Security cameras are our best tool to establishing negligence and getting the evidence you need to win your claim.
