Sacramento County Slip and Fall Accidents
Even the smallest amount of water on a walking surface or the slightest crack in the floor can be disastrous for an individual unaware of the hazard. Property owners, tenants and property mangers have a responsibility to keep their premises free of hazards and must warn people if a danger is present on the premises. Failure to warn others of a known risk can make the property owner, tenant or manager financially liable for a victim's injuries.

What to Do Following a Slip and Fall Accident
Immediately following a Sacramento County slip and fall accident, a medical professional should be seen.

Next, local police should be contacted so the accident is properly documented. The conditions of the premises should be noted in addition to any witness statements. If the slip and fall accident occurred at a retail store, the store manager should fill out an incident report. If physically able to, the victim should jot down all the details of the accident and take pictures of the area where the accident occurred.
