Los Angeles Slip and Fall Lawyer
Property owners in California have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don't — a wet floor with no warning sign, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven pavement — and you get hurt, you may have a premises liability claim.
Solvenza Law represents slip and fall victims throughout Los Angeles and California on contingency: no upfront costs and no fees unless you recover. These cases turn on evidence that disappears fast, so early action matters.
What to do right now after a slip and fall
Get medical attention
Falls cause fractures, head injuries, and back injuries that worsen without treatment. Prompt care protects your health and documents your injuries.
Report the fall to the property owner or manager
Ask that an incident report be created and request a copy. Note the name of the person you reported it to.
Photograph the hazard immediately
The spill gets mopped, the broken step gets fixed. Photograph the exact condition that caused your fall, the surrounding area, lighting, and any missing warning signs.
Get witness information
Anyone who saw you fall — or who knew about the hazard beforehand — can be critical to proving the owner knew or should have known about the danger.
Keep the shoes and clothing you wore
Defendants often blame the victim's footwear. Preserve what you were wearing, unwashed, as evidence.

Filing deadlines
Most California slip and fall claims must be filed within two years of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). Claims involving government property require a government claim, often within six months. Surveillance video is frequently erased within days — contact an attorney quickly.
