Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail, serious injuries can occur.
Spills, leaks, freshly mopped floors, and tracked-in water create dangerous conditions in stores, restaurants, and office buildings.
Cracked sidewalks, uneven flooring, loose tiles, and broken pavement create trip hazards throughout LA properties.
Inadequate lighting in parking lots, stairwells, and walkways prevents visitors from seeing potential hazards.
Broken steps, missing handrails, loose railings, and worn stair treads are common causes of serious falls.
Failure to clear ice, snow, or standing water from walkways and entrances creates preventable slip hazards.
Tools, materials, and debris left in walkways or inadequately marked construction zones pose serious fall risks.
Merchandise, boxes, cords, and other obstacles left in aisles and pathways create dangerous trip hazards.
Property owners who fail to post adequate warning signs for wet floors, construction, or other hazards can be held liable.
If you've been injured in a slip-and-fall accident caused by unsafe property conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Ask Hamlet Law has extensive experience with premises liability cases throughout Los Angeles and can help you understand your legal rights.

At Hamlet Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we secure compensation for you. The fee is typically a percentage of your settlement amount, which will be clearly explained during your free initial consultation. This arrangement ensures our interests are aligned with yours—we only get paid when you do.
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the slip-and-fall. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for not paying attention to obvious hazards, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
Our attorneys are skilled at minimizing your assigned percentage of fault through thorough investigation of the property conditions and strategic presentation of evidence showing the property owner's negligence.
In California, the statute of limitations for premises liability claims, including slip-and-fall accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. For property damage claims, you have three years. However, if your claim is against a government entity (such as a slip-and-fall on public property), you must file a claim within six months.
It's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after a slip-and-fall accident to ensure all deadlines are met and evidence is preserved. Waiting too long could result in losing your right to seek compensation.
We strongly advise against accepting an insurance company's first settlement offer without legal consultation. Initial offers are typically much lower than what your slip-and-fall claim is actually worth. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may not account for future medical expenses, ongoing pain and suffering, or long-term impacts on your earning capacity.
Our experienced premises liability attorneys can evaluate the true value of your claim and negotiate for an appropriate settlement that covers all your damages, both current and future.
After a slip-and-fall accident in Los Angeles, you may be eligible to recover various types of damages, including:
Economic damages: Medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, physical therapy expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries.
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship).
Punitive damages: In cases involving extreme negligence by property owners or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.
Our attorneys work diligently to identify and document all applicable damages to maximize your compensation for your slip-and-fall injuries.
To prove negligence in a slip-and-fall case, we must establish that the property owner had a duty to maintain safe conditions, breached that duty, and that the breach caused your injuries. This typically involves proving one of the following:
Actual knowledge: The property owner knew about the dangerous condition but failed to fix it or warn visitors.
Constructive knowledge: The dangerous condition existed long enough that the property owner should have discovered and addressed it through reasonable inspection.
Direct causation: The property owner or their employees directly created the dangerous condition.
Our team conducts thorough investigations, gathering surveillance footage, maintenance records, witness statements, and expert testimony to build a strong case for negligence.
Don't face the property owners and insurance companies alone. Our experienced Los Angeles slip-and-fall attorneys at Ask Hamlet Law are ready to fight for your rights and maximize your recovery.
