premises liability: what to know and how we can help

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere: a grocery store, apartment complex, sidewalk, or parking lot. However, what many people don’t realize is that these cases are rarely simple. Proving who’s at fault and getting fair compensation from the opposing party often takes experience, strategy, and persistence.

At The Law Office of Eric A. Marshall, we’ve helped numerous clients throughout Southern California recover damages after serious falls. We know how to deal with insurance companies, defense lawyers, and the complicated legal process that follows an injury. Our job is to protect your rights and make sure you’re treated fairly every step of the way.

Property owners, landlords, and businesses have a legal duty to keep their property safe for visitors. If they don’t fix a dangerous condition: wet floors, uneven steps, or broken railings, and someone gets hurt, they can be held responsible.

However, insurance companies and their lawyers often try to blame the victim. They might say you “weren’t watching where you were going” or that “the hazard was obvious.” That’s where having a skilled attorney matters. We gather the evidence: photos, witness statements, maintenance records, and security footage to show exactly how the property owner failed to keep the area safe.

Big businesses and property owners often hire large law firms to defend them. Their lawyers may try to drag out your case, bury you in paperwork, or question your injuries.

We don’t back down. Eric Marshall has spent years dealing with these tactics. He knows how to respond quickly, stay organized, and keep the case moving toward settlement or trial. We handle the legal battles so you can focus on your recovery.

A major part of every case is discovery, which means collecting and sharing evidence between both sides. Defense lawyers often refuse to turn over key documents such as: inspection reports, prior complaints, or maintenance records. Our firm knows how to cut through those objections. We use the law to demand what they’re required to produce and file motions when they don’t cooperate. This information can make all the difference in proving that the property owner was negligent.

Slip and fall cases can be frustrating and confusing, especially when you’re hurt and dealing with medical bills. Having an experienced lawyer on your side can make all the difference.
