Slip and Fall

San Diego Slip and Fall Attorney Case Examples

In one of our prior premises liability cases against the City of San Diego our client tripped and fell in a large pothole while crossing the street. That event left our client requiring requiring surgery on her injured knee. Through our investigation we uncovered the fact that a local business had previously called the appropriate City of San Diego agency to repeatedly complain about the pothole, putting the City of San Diego on notice of the dangerous condition. Mr. Frank, dedicated slip and fall attorney, assisted the client through extensive litigation, as well as court ordered arbitration before the City of San Diego recognized the merits of this premises liability claim and agreed to pay a substantial settlement.

Another of our previous slip and fall cases occurred on the sidewalk. Our client tripped and fell in a large hole left in the sidewalk by the relocation of a bus stop bench. The persons who removed the bench failed to fill in the large hole left in the sidewalk when they tore out the bench. Thus, leaving the hazard behind and, clearly exposing them to premises liability. At the time our client fell, the hole had been exposed for so long that grass was growing in the bottom. Our client was in need of knee surgery to repair the damage caused by this carelessness. Our slip and fall attorney subsequently received for our client a considerable settlement from the negligent workers' employer and the City of San Diego as well.


In a case typical of many supermarket slip and fall claims, another of our clients tripped and fell over a bread tray that had been left in the middle of an aisle by the grocery store workers. Mr. Frank was able to negotiate with the supermarket's insurer. As a result, our client received a considerable settlement to compensate for the surgery required on her knee due to the fall.
