Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, from grocery stores to sidewalks, and often result in serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and spinal injuries. These accidents are frequently caused by hazardous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting. The Ortega Firm, led by Tanya Ortega, specializes in representing victims of slip and fall accidents, ensuring they receive the compensation needed to recover from their injuries.

When they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, the property owner can be held liable for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. The Ortega Firm is experienced in handling premises liability cases, including slip and fall accidents, and works to hold negligent property owners accountable.
• Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
  Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a variety of hazardous conditions, including:
  • Wet or Slippery Floors: Often caused by spills, leaks, or recently mopped surfaces without proper signage.
  • Uneven Surfaces: Cracks in sidewalks, loose tiles, or uneven flooring can lead to trips and falls.
