Handling Slip & Fall Cases in Albany, San Jose & the Bay Area

Did you know that property owners are required by law to keep their properties reasonably safe for visitors? This goes for both residential and commercial property owners. If you were injured on someone else’s property, you might have grounds to seek compensation by filing a premises liability claim. The Berkeley personal injury lawyers at Cheasty, Cheasty & Malek, LLP have extensive experience handling premises liability cases throughout the Bay Area, and we can help you, too. We do not charge a fee unless we make a recovery on your case.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

There is a wide variety of situations that can result in a premises liability injury. From wet floors to poorly maintained sidewalks, if a property owner fails to correct or appropriately maintain his or her property, accidents can happen. Other situations that may result in an injury include insufficient lighting, inadequate security, failure to post warnings of hazardous conditions, objects obstructing pathways, slippery floors, and more. A knowledgeable personal injury lawyer familiar with handling premises liability cases in California can help you determine if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries.

A premises liability attorney can help you bring a suit against:

• Homeowners
• Property owners
• Property managers
• Security companies
• Government agencies
• Store and business owners

While there are laws dictating that property owners keep their premises safe, accidents still happen. A key factor when bringing a premises liability suit is determining who is liable. Our experienced premises liability attorneys in Berkeley are adept at investigating these types of cases and can help you identify your best course of action and ensure that your rights are protected.

Slip & Fall Cases

Cheasty, Cheasty & Malek, LLP provides focused legal representation to you and your family in slip, trip, and fall cases. Suffering an injury of this nature can be the result of the property not being reasonably maintained, such as when there are uneven sidewalks, pavement, improperly secured carpeting, wet or icy ground, or improper signage regarding potential dangers. These can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, neck and spine damage, brain injuries, bruising, and more. You have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other unforeseen expenses as a result of your injury.

Pursue the Compensation You Deserve

Receiving fair compensation is vital to your recovery process. In addition to helping you cover your immediate medical expenses, it can also help you cover any on-going rehabilitation costs, lost wages from time off of work during recovery, and any other expenses related to your injury. We are proud to have been selected to Super Lawyers®, and we are driven to bring our clients the aggressive-yet-compassionate legal representation they are looking for.
