Slip and fall accidents are among the most common causes of injury, and they can occur in any environment, from supermarkets to construction sites. These accidents can result in severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and back injuries, leading to significant medical bills and lost wages. The Ortega Firm, under the leadership of Tanya Ortega, specializes in representing victims of slip and fall accidents, ensuring they receive the compensation they need to recover from their injuries.

• Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
  Slip and fall accidents can occur due to various hazardous conditions, including:
  • Wet Floors: Spills or recently mopped floors without proper warning signs.
  • Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or uneven flooring.
  • Inadequate Lighting: Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking lots.
  • Obstacles in Walkways: Items left in walkways, such as cords or boxes, that create tripping hazards.
• Premises Liability and Property Owners' Responsibility
  Property owners and managers have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured, they can be held liable for the victim's medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. The Ortega Firm holds negligent property owners accountable for the injuries caused by their failure to maintain a safe environment.

  • Initial Consultation: A thorough evaluation of the accident and the conditions that led to the fall.
  • Evidence Collection: Gathering key evidence, such as security camera footage, witness statements, and maintenance records, to build a strong case.
  • Negotiating with Insurance Companies: The firm negotiates aggressively with the property owner's insurance company to secure fair compensation for the victim.
  • Litigation Support: If necessary, The Ortega Firm will take the case to court to ensure that the victim receives the compensation they deserve.

  • Medical Expenses: Including hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
