It is responsibility of the property owner or occupier (renter or lessee) to keep the property available to the public clean and free of debris. Unfortunately, that does not always happen and innocent people get injured as the result. Injures from slips or trips can occur almost anywhere, but stores and parking lots are the most common ones our Fairfield accident attorney get calls about.
The injures can vary from bump and a bruise that require not medical treatment at all to severe injuries that may require emergency medical treatment at the hospital or even surgery.
Determining liability or in other words, who is responsible injury, is very important. Every case has a “statute of limitation” or a time within which you must file a claim. If you fail to sue one of the potentially responsible parties within that time limit, you effectively waive your claim. That means you cannot sue them after the statute of limitations expires.
For example:
Every day we go to the grocery store to buy the thing that we need. You park your car and get out. You begin walking into the store when you trip in the parking lot on a piece of rebar sticking out of the ground and fall sustaining injuries.
Next, just because you were injured on someone’s property does not automatically guarantee you a monetary recovery. For you case to be successful you must prove that:
To make it more clearly, here is another example. Let us take the grocery store situation again:
This time imagine yourself in the store walking the isles, picking the products you came there for, and putting them in your cart. Unknowing to you someone spilled liquid detergent in one of the isles causing the walking surface to become extremely slippery. One of the employees was called to clean up the spill, but the employee failed to block the isle or put up a caution sign. You slip and fall sustain injuries.
This fact pattern meets all the criteria described above and is a great example of a winnable case.
On the other hand, if you saw the spill and decided to walk through it anyway and fall you cannot hold the grocery store responsible. You were aware of the dangerous condition which could cause injury but failed to avoid it.
Similarly, if the spill happened just minutes before you fell and the grocery store was not aware of the spill it will be really harder to hold it responsible for your injury. This is where the term “should have known” comes in. While, the grocery store must be aware of the spill to clean it up, the reasonableness determination depends on what efforts the owner makes to keep the property safe and clean. It falls on the judge to determine if the owner’s efforts were reasonable.
To determine if your injures which resulted from a trip or slip on the property of another you must consult a Fairfield accident attorney. In these cases, attorney will not only help you determine who may be held responsible for your injuries, but also will help you identify and secure witnesses and evidence, communicate with store owners and insurance companies, and help you begin treatment with a medical professional who will be fair in the assessment of your injuries and required treatment.

This is my second time hiring Mr. Choyce for my son, who was charged with a criminal act. Both times that I hired Mr. Choyce, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, and the fact that he was relatable. He is trustworthy, tells you the truth about what you are facing. He is organized, he is a very good listener, came up with strategies that were appealing.I can’t say enough good about Mr. Choyce! I knew that he was going to give my son’s case everything he had, and he did!
Hiring the Choyce Law Firm was the best decision I made while trying to decide what to do after getting charged with a 3rd DUI. I tried to use a lawyer that I had previously used when in trouble with the law, he was near retirement and wasn’t able to give my case the attention I was looking for understanding that I was facing jail time. When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict. Overall hiring Mr Choyce and his team was the best decision I made, he provided great service at a respectable rate, an explained things as they were happening and with the charges I was facing I was very happy with the outcome of my cases that he handled. I would strongly recommend Mr Choyce and his team to anyone I know that needs legal representation he knows the law and will provide you with the best service you could hope for form a lawyer that wants to win.
“This is my second time using Mr. Choyce, and I would choose no one other than him. Both times that I hired him, it was for my son, and they were very serious cases. Mr. Choyce is smart, professional, practical, and relatable. He is a serious person, who listens, speaks in laymens terms, so that you understand what is going on. Not like some that I have experience, who talk over you, and dont take the time to really answer your questions.The second case got very close to going to trial, however, I was confident that I had the best of the best representing my son. Thank God that after willing to go to trial, we got a deal that, I think was a win win.I would definitely, without a question, hire Mr. Choyce again!”
