Slip and Fall Injury Specialists in Tacoma Washington State

An accident from a wet floor in a supermarket, an icy patch in a parking lot, or a poorly lit staircase is not simply bad luck. In most cases, these are “preventable accidents” that occur when a property owner or manager neglects their legal duty to maintain a safe environment.

An injury from a slip and fall can range from a simple bruise to a life-changing fracture or brain injury. Yet, many victims blame themselves and give up their right to seek just compensation.

At Car Crash, we are specialists who help victims of slip and fall accidents in Tacoma and across Washington State prove a property owner’s negligence and recover the full compensation they deserve.

Understanding Premises Liability: The Property Owner’s Duty

Washington State law imposes a “duty of care” on all property owners and managers—including stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, and parking lots—to maintain a reasonably safe environment for their visitors. If they breach this duty and you are injured as a result, they are legally responsible.

How We Prove the Owner Was Negligent

To win a slip and fall case, we must prove that the property owner knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition. We hold them accountable by proving one or more of the following:

The owner or an employee caused the dangerous condition (e.g., mopped a floor and failed to put up a “wet floor” sign).
The owner or an employee knew about the dangerous condition but did nothing to fix it (e.g., a leak was reported but ignored).
The owner or an employee should have discovered and removed the danger through regular, reasonable inspection (e.g., an obstacle that was left in a walkway for a long time).

How to Protect Your Rights After a Fall

Report the Accident to Management Immediately: It is critical to have an official incident report created on the spot.
Document the Hazard with Photos: Take pictures of what caused you to fall (the spill, the ice, etc.) immediately, before it can be cleaned up.
Get Witness Information: Ask anyone who saw the accident for their name and contact number.
Seek Medical Attention: You must see a doctor even if you feel okay. Some injuries take time to appear.
Do Not Agree to a Quick Settlement: Never sign any documents from an insurance company without a lawyer’s review.
