A slip and fall claim involves premises liability—the property owner or manager has a duty to keep the premises safe for visitors.
If unsafe conditions contribute to your fall, you may be entitled to compensation after a careful review of evidence, liability, and insurance coverage.
A slip and fall occurs when a hazardous condition on someone else’s property leads to an injury, and the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it in a timely manner.
Core elements include duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The typical process involves documenting the incident, investigating the site, notifying the responsible party, negotiating a settlement, and, if needed, pursuing litigation on your behalf.
Glossary terms help you understand the concepts and steps involved in a slip-and-fall claim.
A property owner or manager has a legal obligation to keep the premises reasonably safe for visitors.

A link between the hazardous condition and the injury; the claim must show the defendant’s fault caused the harm.
Legal responsibility of property owners to maintain safe conditions and warn visitors of hazards.

In California, many slip-and-fall cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you typically pay nothing upfront and the attorney is paid from a portion of any recovery. If you don’t recover money, you typically don’t owe attorney fees. Always confirm fee arrangements in writing before proceeding. Our team can discuss fees during a free initial consultation and explain what to expect.
After a slip and fall, seek medical attention, report the incident, and document the location and hazard. Gather contact information from witnesses and take photos if safe to do so. Then contact a lawyer to review your rights and the best path forward for compensation.
Fault in a slip-and-fall case is shown through evidence of the hazard, how long it existed, and whether the property owner failed to fix or warn about it. California uses a comparative fault system, so liability can be shared if you bear some responsibility for the incident.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident. Some claims against government entities have shorter deadlines. It’s important to consult an attorney promptly to preserve your rights and avoid missing critical deadlines.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, future care needs, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. An attorney helps quantify both current and future losses to pursue full and fair compensation.
Many slip-and-fall cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement can’t be reached. Our firm prepares every case for success in negotiations and, if needed, in litigation, while keeping you informed at each step.
