Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Even if you were on your phone, it’s legal to seek damages for a slip and fall in a Chowchilla store. However, since California has comparative negligence laws, you may face partial blame for your accident.
Typically, the store’s owner could be held responsible for slip and falls in their parking lot. Since the parking lot is on a store’s premises, it’s the store owner’s duty to keep it reasonably safe. If you can prove the store’s proprietor acted negligently, you may receive damages from a parking lot slip and fall claim.
