In Southern California, the city of Long Beach is second in size only to Los Angeles. With a population of more than 450,000, the city can get very crowded at times. Crowded areas, which mean that many people are moving around, can often result in accidents. Some of those accidents are known as slip and fall. A slip and fall accident may occur when a store or hotel or even a mall fails to maintain its property in a safe manner. If someone is injured because of that failure, it is known as a slip and fall accident, and the person who is injured has rights and options as part of what is known as a premises liability personal injury action.

Thousands of people are injured each year in the United States as a result of a slip and fall. Who is responsible when these accidents occur? Many times, the fault lies with the property or store owner; sometimes, however, it does not. A fall is not always caused by negligence. Sometimes people are just careless about where they are walking and what they are walking into. For instance, a person may be injured by falling over a storm drain. However, storm drains are put there for a purpose and people are expected to be careful about walking around them.

On the other hand, property owners have a responsibility to make their property reasonably safe and accessible. That is the important consideration in deciding fault in many slip and fall accidents. Did the property owner act in a reasonable manner to insure safety for customers, or was the customer the one at fault by being careless and not paying attention to where he or she was walking?

There are many conditions where a property owner may be judged guilty of causing a slip and fall accident, such as:

* holes in the road or parking lot that have not been fixed
* spills in a store or mall that have not been properly cleaned
* products that may have fallen off a shelf and have not been picked up
* defective stairs
