Slip and fall accidents can cause life altering injuries. It is estimated that more than 1 million people a year are injured as the result of a slip and fall accident. Accidents of this nature are often caused by the negligence of a business owner/manager, friend, or in a workplace environment.

That is why Rancho Cordova, personal injury attorneys, Aiken & Jacobsen want to help you overcome any financial hardships caused by someone else’s’ negligence.
According to the National Safety Council, more than 65% of all slip and fall accidents can be attributed to unsafe conditions.

This leaves you, the victim, to pay for all costs associated with your injuries. The average slip and fall injury expense is estimated at 75+ thousand dollars including medical costs, lost wages, travel expenses, and pain and suffering the numbers can be quite intimidating. Not many people can afford this type of accident and you shouldn’t be forced to. Protect yourself and your rights by having the negligent party and/or parties’ insurance company compensate you for your injuries.
