What You Need to Know Before You Settle

CA Law

California Civil Code §1714

Property owners must maintain safe premises. When they fail and someone is injured, they can be held legally accountable — whether the property is a business, apartment complex, or private home.

CA Law

Prior notice is the key issue

To win a slip and fall claim, you generally must show the property owner knew — or should have known — about the dangerous condition. We investigate maintenance logs, prior complaints, and inspection records.

CA Law

Statute of limitations: 2 years

California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. If the hazard was on government-owned property — a city sidewalk or public building — you may have as little as 6 months to file a claim.

CA Law

Pure comparative negligence

Even if you were partially at fault (distracted, wearing improper footwear), you can still recover. Insurance companies routinely try to blame the victim. We build cases that shift focus back to the property owner's failure.

Where accidents happen

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Dangerous conditions take many forms. Identifying exactly what the owner failed to do — and when they knew about it — is how we build a winning case.

Wet or Slippery Floors

Spills, freshly mopped surfaces, and leaks in grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping centers without adequate warning signs.

Uneven or Broken Surfaces

Cracked sidewalks, potholes, and damaged flooring — among the leading causes of serious falls across Los Angeles.

Inadequate Lighting

Poorly lit stairwells, parking garages, and walkways where hazards are not visible to a reasonable person.

Defective Stairs & Handrails

Broken steps, missing handrails, and unstable railings in apartment buildings, offices, and public buildings.

Outdoor Hazards

Standing water, overgrown vegetation, and uneven pavement on commercial and residential property.

Government Property

City sidewalks, public parks, and municipal buildings — with a strict 6-month claim deadline for government defendants.

Evidence disappears fast

What to Do After a Slip and Fall in Los Angeles

Your actions in the minutes and hours after a fall directly affect your ability to recover compensation. Hazards get cleaned up quickly — here's what to do.

Report the incident

Notify the property owner, manager, or landlord immediately and request a written incident report. Ask for a copy before you leave.

Seek medical attention

See a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel okay. Delayed treatment weakens your claim and can allow injuries to worsen.

Document the hazard

Photograph the exact location, the dangerous condition that caused your fall, and your injuries — before anything is cleaned up or repaired.

Preserve your clothing

Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing. They can corroborate the mechanism of injury and the conditions present at the time.

Collect witness information

Get names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the fall. Their accounts can be critical if the property owner disputes what happened.

Contact L&F Brown

The sooner we are involved, the better our ability to obtain surveillance footage, maintenance records, and document the hazard before it is repaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the property owner have to have known about the hazard?

In California, a property owner is liable if they actually knew about the dangerous condition or if a reasonable owner should have known about it — for example, because it had existed long enough that regular inspections would have revealed it. We investigate maintenance logs, employee training records, and prior incident reports to establish what the owner knew.

What if I slipped on a public sidewalk in Los Angeles or Glendale?

Claims against the City of Los Angeles, the City of Glendale, or other government entities follow different rules. You must file a government tort claim within six months of the incident. This area requires experienced legal counsel — contact us immediately after your injury.

Can I still recover if I wasn’t watching where I was going?

Yes. California’s pure comparative negligence rule means your own inattention may reduce your recovery, but does not eliminate it. If the property owner’s negligence was the primary cause of your fall, you are entitled to a proportionate recovery.

How long does a slip and fall case take?

Many cases settle within six to eighteen months. More complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or government defendants may take longer. We keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case efficiently without compromising your recovery.

How much does it cost to hire L&F Brown?

Nothing upfront. Slip and fall cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid when you do. Your initial consultation is free.
