Representing Retail Store Accident Claims in San Bernardino, CA
Easton & Easton is a team of attorneys with years of professional experience representing personal injury claims in San Bernardino, including those that pertain to premises liability violations and resulting injuries. If you were recently hurt in a retail store, the store owner is likely liable for your damages under the state’s premises liability laws.
If you believe you have grounds to file a retail store injury claim in San Bernardino, you need legal counsel you can trust to guide you through your case. Your attorney can help gather the proof you need to firmly establish fault for your damages, and once you prove fault, you can rely on your attorney to guide you through the proceedings necessary to recover compensation for your damages.
While it is technically possible to pursue a personal injury claim without hiring legal counsel, this would be very risky and incredibly challenging.

When you choose our firm to represent you, you are investing in a dedicated legal advocate ready to help you recover as fully as possible.
Recovering From Your Retail Store Injury in San Bernardino
The main objective of a premises liability claim is to hold a property owner accountable for the unreasonable state of their property and the hazard that caused your injury. Slip and fall accidents from unmarked wet floors and other tripping hazards are common examples of retail store injury claims filed. Your attorney can help gather the proof needed to show the store owner failed to maintain reasonably safe premises and caused your damages.
Proving fault is an essential first step in any personal injury claim. Once fault is established, the plaintiff may then claim compensation for all economic damages the defendant caused. These can include property losses, medical bills, and lost income, including future damages if the plaintiff suffered a serious injury resulting in permanent disability. Additionally, the plaintiff can claim pain and suffering compensation.
Easton & Easton can work closely with you through every stage of your recovery efforts until you recover compensation for the losses you suffered. Our firm knows the unique challenges that you could encounter as you seek to ensure accountability and recover compensation for your losses. The sooner you connect with our team, the more time we have to build a compelling civil suit for you, and the more likely you will be to win your case.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton!
