Personal Injury Attorneys
California Slip and Fall Lawyers
Slip and fall accidents are among the leading causes of serious injuries, especially for older adults. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to do so, they can be held accountable for the injuries that result. We fight to hold negligent property owners responsible.
What We Handle
Common Causes & Scenarios
Wet or Slippery Floors
Spills, recently mopped floors, or tracked-in water can create dangerous slip hazards, especially without proper warning signs.
Uneven or Damaged Surfaces
Cracked sidewalks, potholes, loose tiles, torn carpeting, and uneven flooring can cause trip-and-fall accidents.
Inadequate Lighting
Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, and walkways makes it difficult to see hazards and increases fall risk.
Missing or Broken Handrails
Staircases and ramps require proper handrails. Missing, loose, or broken handrails can lead to serious falls.
Weather Conditions
Property owners must address ice, snow, and water accumulation in a timely manner to prevent slip hazards.
Cluttered Walkways
Merchandise, boxes, cords, or debris in walking areas create tripping hazards that property owners must address.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove the property owner was negligent?
To prove negligence, we must show that a dangerous condition existed, the property owner knew or should have known about it, they failed to fix it or warn visitors, and that failure caused your injury. Evidence like incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements can help establish liability.
What if I was partially at fault for my fall?
California's comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Property owners often try to shift blame to victims—we fight these tactics.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Report the incident to the property owner or manager and get a copy of the incident report. Document the hazard with photos if possible. Get contact information from witnesses. Seek medical attention promptly. Preserve your shoes and clothing. Contact an attorney before giving statements to insurance companies.
Can I sue a business for a slip and fall?
Yes. Businesses owe their customers a duty of reasonable care to maintain safe premises. This includes regular inspections, prompt cleanup of spills, adequate lighting, and warning signs for known hazards. If a business breaches this duty and you're injured, you may have a valid claim.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims against government entities have much shorter deadlines—often just six months. Contact an attorney promptly to ensure you don't miss any deadlines.
