- Poor lighting in stairwells and parking areas
- Loose rugs, mats and cords
California Law
Notice matters
To hold a property owner responsible, it generally must be shown that the owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Photos, incident reports and witness accounts help prove this.
Free Consultation
Tell us what happened by phone, video, or in person. We listen, answer your questions, and explain your options in plain language.
Investigation
We gather reports, records, photos, and witness accounts to build a clear picture of who is responsible.
Claim & Negotiation
We handle the insurance companies and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Resolution
Whether through settlement or, if necessary, litigation, we stay by your side and keep you informed every step of the way.
Medical expenses
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, therapy, medication and future treatment.
Lost income
Wages you missed while recovering and reduced ability to earn in the future.
Pain and suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of daily life.
Property damage
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and other personal property.
Every case is different. No attorney can guarantee a particular result.
Report the fall to the manager or owner, ask for an incident report, photograph the hazard and your injuries, and get medical care.
Possibly. California's comparative fault rule may reduce, but not necessarily eliminate, your recovery.
