After a fall, many people are not sure whether they even have a case or if their injuries are serious enough to call a lawyer, which can lead to delays that hurt their claim. When you reach out to us promptly, we can review what happened, explain how California premises liability law applies, and help you avoid common mistakes like giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters or missing important medical treatment.

Common Injuries Sustained in Slip & Fall Accidents

The injuries most commonly sustained in slip and fall accidents include:

• Serious cuts and lacerations
• Injuries to the shoulder, elbow, and wrist
• Injuries to the knees or ankles
• Broken bones
• Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• And more

Many slip and fall accidents result in catastrophic injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term care. If you are suffering from any of these injuries, the team at Klein DeNatale Goldner can help you pursue compensation that reflects the full scope of your losses.

Even if you were able to walk away from the scene, it is still wise to seek medical care at a facility such as Kern Medical or another local provider. Some injuries, including concussions and soft tissue damage, may not show immediate symptoms. Prompt medical documentation helps establish a clear connection between the fall and your injuries, making it more difficult for insurance companies to dispute your claim. We can also assist in tracking follow-up care, prescriptions, and therapy so that the long-term effects of the injury are fully documented.

When we evaluate your case, we look beyond your current bills to understand how the fall has affected your daily life, your ability to work, and your future medical needs. We may consult with your doctors or other professionals to estimate ongoing treatment costs, home modifications, or reduced earning capacity so that we can pursue a settlement or verdict that reflects your long-term losses. If the property owner or their insurance company disputes fault, we also prepare to present evidence such as photographs, witness statements, and maintenance records to show how their negligence led to your injuries.

What To Do After a Slip & Fall Accident

Knowing what to do in the minutes and days after a fall can make a significant difference in both your physical recovery and your legal options. Many people feel embarrassed or shaken and simply want to leave the scene, but taking a few careful steps can protect your health and preserve valuable evidence. In Bakersfield, where falls can happen at grocery stores, office buildings, or along busy routes like Highway 99 and local shopping areas, having a clear plan can help you stay calm and focused.

Whenever possible, you should report the incident to the property owner or manager and ask that an incident report be created, making sure your version of events is recorded accurately. Try to take photographs or video of the hazard that caused your fall, such as spilled liquids, broken steps, or poor lighting, before it is cleaned up or repaired. If anyone saw what happened, get their names and contact information so your attorney can reach out later, and keep copies of any correspondence you receive from the business or its insurance company.

It is also important to seek medical care promptly, even if you think your injuries are minor, and to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Save all medical records, bills, and receipts, as well as notes about missed work or activities you can no longer enjoy. When you are ready to discuss your options, reaching out to a slip and fall attorney Bakersfield residents trust can help you understand whether the property owner may be held responsible and what steps to take next.
