Dog Cleaning Slip And Fall Attorney In California

The pet care industry has grown to over $260 million annually in the United States. That massive amount demonstrates how much pet owners care for their creatures with feathers, fur, or fins. It also helps to justify why pet stores have added dog washing facilities to many locations. And how there can be free-standing stores that offer a large space to wash your dog. Pet care is a thriving business.

And when you think about the cost of pet grooming, a self-serve dog wash facility is a great way to save money without worrying about clogged drains at your home. And no more worries about your dog shaking soapy water all over your bathroom or the issues that can arise when you try to wash your dog outside. Instead, you rent the wash space for a bit and then head home with a clean dog, no worries of fur-clogged drains, and no need to scrub your bathroom. What could be more perfect?

However, that question might not be the one you will be asking if you have been the victim of a dog cleaning slip and fall injury accident. Instead, you are wondering how you will pay your bills if you cannot work, who will help pay for your medical care, and who is to blame for your injuries and the stress you are now facing.

Common Dog Cleaning Slip And Fall Injuries
When you think of injuries that could occur when bathing your dog, most of them seem pretty minor. You imagine a bruised arm or leg from bumping the wall of the wash space, maybe a tiny scrape from a rough tile. But what you are not considering are the life-altering injuries that are all too common from a slip and fall at a dog cleaning facility. Some of the most severe injuries from these hazardous slip and fall incidents include:

• Fractured or broken arms, legs, wrists, ribs, hips, or other bones
• Dislocated fingers, knees, shoulders, or other joints
• Soft tissue injuries, including strains, sprains, and muscle tears
• Head, neck, and back injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Facial injuries to the mouth, nose, eyes, and teeth

These are just some very severe injuries that could result from a slip and fall injury while washing your dog. And when you face these injuries and the costly medical bills that come with them, it is crucial to determine who is responsible for your injuries and the expenses and losses you suffer.
Understanding Premises Liability
The owner of every property, not just a dog cleaning facility, must maintain the property safely and keep it free of known hazards. The standard set for all property owners is to keep their building, land, and other features in good condition and provide a level of safety that is considered acceptable by the average person. Clearly, the level of care needed will be dictated by the type of property and how guests or paying customers will use the space. In the case of a dog bathing facility, added care is required to ensure safety in these wet conditions when washing a dog.

If a property owner fails to provide the most basic level of care expected, they are said to be in breach of duty of care. This is because they are basically negligent in their property care. And should anyone be injured due to their negligence, they can be found to be financially responsible. So now the question is, how did the property owner fail to provide you with a safe space to wash your dog?
Possible Examples Of Negligence At A Dog Bathing Facility
The dog washing facility owners must understand the hazards of water use and a wet animal in their bathing facility. They also need to account for the safety of their human patrons. Some examples that could qualify as negligence in these responsibilities include:

• Not keeping drains free of dog hair and other clogs that create a flood or backup of water in the dog bathing area
• Installing hazardous objects near the dog was areas such as counters or shelving with sharp edges and pointed corners as opposed to rounded edges and curves instead of corners
• Water hoses that are too long and hang to the floor creating a potential hazard
• Steps or edges at the bathing stations that could cause a patron to slip and fall
• Failing to install or maintain non-slip surfaces in the bathing stations

These are just a few examples of the items that could have contributed to your slip and fall injuries that might be considered the property owner’s responsibility. And because they were neglected or ignored, your fall could be their fault.
What To Do After A Dog Cleaning Slip And Fall Incident
Of course, medical attention is the priority if you suffer severe injuries when you slip and fall while washing your dog. However, gathering information regarding the incident is essential as soon as possible. If you are able to take photos of the area where you fell and the likely cause of the slip and fall accident, do so. Things like a clogged drain and clumps of loose, slippery dog hair on the floor could be beneficial in demonstrating the negligence of the property owner should you seek to file a lawsuit. Also, ask witnesses for a written statement of what they observed and their contact information. Finally, keep your medical records from your injury evaluations and treatment to justify reimbursement for your medical expenses.

The Timeline For A Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit
The first vital fact to remember is that in California, injury victims have two years from the date of the incident to file a claim with the court system. If you fail to submit your claim in that time, you will likely lose the right to seek compensation for the injuries, losses, and expenses related to the incident. The staff at Kenmore Law Group will work diligently to ensure that your lawsuit is ready to file as quickly as possible. Our goal is to have the case completed as rapidly as possible to secure the compensation you need to pay your bills and expenses related to the injuries. So please never worry that we must wait the full two years to file your claim.

In addition, we want clients to understand that we have no reliable method of estimating the time needed to complete a lawsuit. The court’s workload and the defendant’s actions are only two of the many factors that will impact how long your matter takes to be completed. So contacting Kenmore Law Group as soon as possible is the best way to ensure that your case moves forward as rapidly as possible to get you the money you need and deserve for your injuries.
What Is The Value Of A Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
The value of any lawsuit is based on the losses and expenses of the injury victim. So there is no way to provide an estimate until we begin to process some of the documents specific to your case. However, the final value of the case will include these common items:

• All of the medical bills related to the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluations of your slip and fall injuries
• The amount of your lost wages if you are unable to work during the healing process or any work time missed attending medical appointments
• The total of your legal fees to file your claim with the court and for representation duing the matter
• A dollar amount can also be added to the lawsuit to account for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of the slip and fall injuries
