Understanding Slip and Fall Laws in Ventura

Under California law, property owners, managers, and even certain tenants must maintain safe conditions on their premises. If they neglect this duty and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable. To successfully bring a slip and fall claim in Ventura, you typically need to prove:

  • Duty of Care: The property owner had a legal obligation to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors.
  • Breach of Duty: They knew — or should have known — about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn people about it.
  • Causation: The unsafe condition directly caused your fall and injuries.
  • Damages: You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to the accident.

These cases might sound straightforward, but property owners and their insurance companies often fight hard to avoid responsibility. That’s where having the right legal team can make all the difference.
