Proving Fault in a Santa Ana Trip and Fall Cases

In most Santa Ana cases, the individual hurt in a trip-and-fall on somebody else’s property must establish that the cause of the injury was a”dangerous condition”, and that the owner or possessor of the property knew of the dangerous circumstance.  A hazardous situation must pose an unreasonable threat to a person on the property, and it must have been a circumstance that the injured party shouldn’t have expected under the conditions.  This latter obligation implies that people have to be aware of, and keep away from, obvious dangers.

To prove fault for a trip and fall accident in Santa Ana, you need to show that there was a dangerous condition that the owner knew or should have known about and failed to correct. For a home owner or possessor to be held answerable, it must have been predictable that his inattention would the cause of the danger at issue.  If a container of paint falls and spills in an aisle of a store and, one day later, the shop has not noticed or cleaned up the spill, and someone slips in the paint and is injured, one could argue it was expected that the store’s negligence in failing to inspect its aisles and clean up spills would cause someone to slip.

Occasionally, a claimant can establish carelessness by showing that the property owner violated a pertinent law and the building had dangerous conditions.

By way of example, building codes often order when and where handrails and other like features have to be installed.  So as to recover payment for a trip and fall complaint sustained on another’s property, there must be a guilty party whose negligence caused the injury.  This sounds evident, but many people do not recognize that some injuries are plainly accidents caused, if anything, by their own negligence.As an example, if a person falls simply because he was not looking where he was walking, he cannot recover against the property owner if the owner was in no way at fault, no matter how serious the injury.

If an injured person is only partially at fault for his own injury, he might still be able to recoup from another, but the dollar amount of his recovery may be reduced.

Another condition most common, but is less straightforward than the other due to the phrase”should have known”, responsibility in these cases depends upon general intellect.  The premise liability law determines whether the owner or occupier of property was watchful by deciding if the steps the owner or occupier took to keep the property safe were practical.You don’t have to”prove” to an insurance adjuster that you were careful, but think about what you’re doing and explain it clearly so that an insurance adjuster will realize that you were not careless.
