California Rebar Trip And Fall Attorney

If you are unfamiliar with the term rebar, it is a steel rod with ridges used to reinforce concrete and other masonry items like block walls and swimming pool shells. Tension can be added to the rebar to increase the concrete’s tensile strength, significantly increasing its durability and longevity. To function correctly, the rebar is completely encased in the concrete. However, as the concrete begins to wear or deteriorate, which often happens in areas with high salt content in the air, the pieces of steel rebar can become exposed and become a very severe tripping hazard.

Premises Liability And Rebar Trip And Fall Injuries
Premises liability is a section of the law that deals with the level of care property owners must maintain. Specifically, it requires property owners to keep a structure or property safe for guests and free of known safety hazards. For example, when considering rebar trip and fall issues, the condition of steps, walkways, and foundations are typically the areas in question. When concrete on any of these features begins to wear and break down, rebar can easily become exposed and hazardous. And it is the property owner’s responsibility to repair or eliminate the hazard, post a warning of the danger, or block the area from access. If none of these actions were taken, the property owner could be found to be negligent in their duty of care.

If you have tripped and fallen over exposed rebar, there is a good possibility that the property owner is liable for your injuries and the expenses the injuries created. The staff at Kenmore Law Group is here 24/7 to assist you in discovering who is to blame for your injuries and how to secure the compensation you need to pay your medical bills, living expenses, and other costs while healing from your wounds.
Common Injuries From A Rebar Trip And Fall Incident
Any trip and fall can result in significant injuries. However, when there is a trip and fall incident involving exposed rebar, the injuries can be far more catastrophic due to the damaged concrete surface and steel rebar where you land. Some of the common injuries associated with a rebar trip and fall include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Spinal Cord Or Back Injuries
• Hand, Wrist, Elbow, And Arm Injuries
• Foot, Ankle, Knee, Leg, And Hip Injuries
• Damage To Internal Organs
• Lacerations
• Puncture Wounds

If you have suffered an injury from a rebar trip and fall, seek medical care immediately. Even if you believe the harm to be minor, it is very likely that some injuries are masked by the shock and adrenaline created by your body during the trip and fall. Once your injuries are adequately treated, contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss your potential for a California rebar trip and fall injury lawsuit.
What To Do After A Trip And Fall Injury
It is important to remember that if you take legal action against the owner of the property where your trip and fall occurred, the case could take months to reach the court. And in that time, the conditions on the property could change significantly. So it is vital that you document the area where you feel as soon as possible after your trip and fall injury. In addition, gathering the following information will be very beneficial when seeking the compensation you deserve for your injuries:

• Images of the damaged concrete and close-ups of the exposed rebar
• Photos of your injuries from the fall
• Gather the contact information of any witnesses and ask for written statements of what they saw
• Keep all the records from your medical care related to the rebar trip and fall injuries
• Contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss the incident and show them the information you have gathered to determine if a lawsuit is the solution you need to pursue

How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
In California, there is a Statute of Limitations on filing a personal injury lawsuit. The time limit, for most cases, is two years from the date of the injury. However, if the property is owned by a government entity, such as a city sidewalk or city park, the time limit is only six months from the date of the injury. The team at Kenmore Law Group will help you understand the time limit to file your claim and if any of the exceptions to the standard Statute of Limitations apply to you and your action.

It is also vital to understand that there is no way to estimate the length of time needed to complete a lawsuit. So the sooner you contact Kenmore Law Group and begin working on the information and process of filing a case, the faster you will receive the compensation you deserve.
What Is The Potential Value Of A California Rebar Trip And Fall Lawsuit?
The value of any lawsuit will depend significantly on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. In the case of a rebar trip and fall injury, some of the typical costs you could include in your case are:

• The total cost of your medical bills to treat your injuries, as well as any medical devices needed for your care and prescription medications
• Your lost wages for the time required to heal from your injuries and work missed attending medical appointments related to the injuries
• Your legal fees from Kenmore Law Group

In some cases, it is also possible to determine a dollar amount to represent your pain and suffering and punitive damages.
