Slip and Fall Lawyers in San Jose

A walk through a parking lot or a visit to the grocery store should not pose a danger—yet when property owners fail to properly maintain their premises, visitors can easily slip and fall in potholes, slip on unmarked wet floors, or otherwise incur serious injury.  Slip and fall attorneys in San Jose have the specialized experience needed to help injury victims or their families pursue compensation within the complex area of premises liability law.

How A sAN Jose slip and fall lawyer can help

While most areas of personal injury law involve proving liability through the performance of a negligent act, premises liability suits often require a San Jose personal injury lawyer to prove the absence of reasonable care.  To clarify this concept, San Jose wrongful death law firms are typically called upon to prove specific actions—such as careless or drunk driving caused the death of a victim.  If a death is caused in a slip and fall situation, attorneys must prove a property owner was negligent through lack of action—such as failing to prominently mark a wet floor or other hazard, or failing to repair a large pothole in the parking lot.

To further complicate these issues, the attorneys representing property owners typically attempt to shift the blame to the accident victim.  They may claim the victim did not exercise reasonable care.  Even worse, they may claim the accident was an intentional act by the victim to collect damages.

Attorney Jeffrey D. Janoff has almost three decades of experience helping accident victims pursue the compensation they deserve.  By focusing his practice within the San Jose area, he can often anticipate the ploys of opposing attorneys, and he diligently prepares the legal cases of his clients by obtaining evidence through witness interviews and the use of specialized legal investigators.
