Wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting and uneven sidewalks cause serious falls. To win, you have to show the owner knew, or should have known, about the danger. Evidence disappears quickly, so we act fast to get incident reports, camera footage and cleaning logs.

For most injury claims, two years from the date of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). Claims against a city or county can have a deadline as short as six months, so call early.
