Proving fault in a California slip and fall accident requires demonstrating that the property owner was negligent, which means they failed to maintain a safe environment. Here's how you can establish fault:

Show Property Owner’s Duty of Care:

Establish that the property owner owed a duty of care to visitors. This duty requires them to keep their property reasonably safe and address hazards that could cause accidents.

Prove Breach of Duty:

Demonstrate that the property owner failed to meet this duty. This could include showing that they knew or should have known about the hazardous condition (like a wet floor or uneven pavement) and failed to address it.

Establish Causation:

Connect the breach of duty directly to the slip and fall accident. You need to show that the unsafe condition was the cause of your fall and subsequent injuries.

Provide Evidence of Injury:

Document your injuries with medical records and evidence of how the fall affected your life. This helps in showing the extent of harm caused by the property owner's negligence.

Gather Supporting Evidence:

Collect photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, and maintenance records that can support your claim of negligence.
