How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in California?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a premises liability lawsuit. But evidence disappears fast — security footage gets overwritten, hazards get repaired — so contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

Do I have a case if there was no "Wet Floor" sign?

Possibly. Property owners must either fix a dangerous condition or warn visitors about it. A missing warning sign is strong evidence of negligence, but your case also depends on whether the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and how long it existed.

What if I was partially at fault for my fall?

California follows comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault — your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Do not assume you do not have a case. Talk to a lawyer about your situation.

What is a slip and fall case worth?

It depends on your medical expenses, lost income, severity of injuries, long-term care needs, and pain and suffering. Every case is different. We evaluate the full picture and fight for maximum recovery.

Who can I sue for my slip and fall injury?

It depends on who controlled the property. That can be a business owner, a landlord, a property management company, or a government entity. We identify every responsible party and hold them accountable.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

The moments after a slip and fall matter. Take these steps to protect your health and your claim.

Report the incident

Tell the property owner, manager, or business immediately and ask for an incident report. Get a copy if you can — it creates an official record of what happened.

Photograph the hazard

Take pictures of the exact condition that caused your fall — the wet floor, broken step, missing handrail, ice, or debris — before anyone cleans it up or fixes it.

Identify witnesses

Get names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the fall or who was nearby. Witness accounts are critical when the property owner later denies the hazard existed.

Seek medical attention

See a doctor right away, even if you feel okay. Soft-tissue injuries, concussions, and fractures often surface hours or days later. Medical records also link your injuries to the fall.

Preserve your evidence

Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing unwashed in a bag. They may show the substance you slipped on and confirm the condition of the floor.
