Slip & Fall Lawyers of Los Angeles

Slip on a Wet Floor

Every business has a responsibility to provide its customers with a safe and clean environment. The State of California has developed laws protecting consumers from negligent business managers who do not regularly clean their stores and properties. Unfortunately, cleaning floors also leaves behind short-term hazards and a narrow chance of injury.

We’ve all seen the signs that read, “CAUTION: Wet Floor.” These signs are made for everyone’s safety but many times, properties and businesses do little else to warn others of this hazard, and as a result, thousands of people are hurt every year.

Our Los Angeles slip and fall accident attorneys know the laws that protect you and your family from others negligence. We’ve helped our clients get the largest possible settlements after a slip and fall or trip on a wet floor, and our lawyers know how they can help you get the best possible results if your case goes to court.

Trip on Uneven Pavement

Over the past decade, the City of Los Angeles has made a conscious effort to make its neighborhoods more walkable. Unfortunately, Los Angeles residents know they live on shaky ground, and the city estimates there are about 4,500 miles of sidewalk in desperate need of repair. In fact, according to a 2007 study from the University of Southern California, it could take Los Angeles 72 years to repair every sidewalk.

However, sidewalk property owners, whether they belong to the state or a person, are required to be maintained by law, and if not, will face the consequences of a trip and fall lawsuit. Our Los Angeles trip and fall attorneys will fight against negligent property owners and negotiate with insurance companies to seek the compensation you deserve for your pain and injury.
