Trip/Slip and Falls

Most people don’t expect to suffer a serious injury while walking through a store, an apartment complex, or an office building. But all it takes is a slick floor, an uneven surface, or a broken step to turn a routine moment into an emergency. When that injury could have—and should have—been prevented, the property owner may be held responsible.

At Farzan Law, attorney Alex Farzan helps people who’ve been hurt in slip and fall accidents get the compensation they need to recover. These types of injuries can disrupt every part of your life, from your ability to work to your ability to simply walk without pain. Our goal is to make sure you don’t have to handle the legal and financial aftermath on your own.

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, call (424) 325-3112 for a free consultation. There’s no fee unless we win.

What Makes a Property Owner Liable?

In California, property owners and those responsible for maintaining a property have a legal obligation to keep their premises reasonably safe. This doesn’t mean every accident leads to a lawsuit—but when a dangerous condition exists and the person in charge knew about it (or should have known), and failed to fix it or warn others, that’s where liability can come into play.

It could be a puddle left unattended in a grocery store aisle. A stairwell with a broken handrail. Cracked pavement in a parking lot. Poor lighting in a hallway. These are more than minor oversights—they’re hazards that can cause life-altering injuries. If the injury happened because someone failed to take reasonable care, you may have a claim.

Injuries from Falls Aren’t Always “Minor”

Some people hear “slip and fall” and imagine nothing more than a bruised ego. But the truth is, falls are one of the leading causes of emergency room visits. A hard fall can result in fractured bones, torn ligaments, spinal injuries, or even traumatic brain damage. For older adults, especially, a fall can trigger a decline in overall health that becomes hard to recover from.

Even when the injuries aren’t immediately visible, the effects can linger. Chronic pain, limited mobility, and the emotional toll of being sidelined from work or daily routines are all too common. These are not injuries to brush off—and you deserve to be taken seriously.

What You Can Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

After a fall, the most important thing is to get medical attention. Even if you feel okay in the moment, certain injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Having a medical record not only protects your health, but also helps document the harm caused.

If possible, take photos of the scene, the hazard, and any visible injuries. Report the incident to whoever manages the property and try to get a copy of the report. If someone witnessed your fall, get their contact information. Most importantly, don’t speak to any insurance representatives before talking with an attorney. These companies often aim to settle quickly—and for far less than your case may be worth.

What Can You Recover in a Premises Liability Claim?

A successful slip and fall case can help cover more than just medical expenses. You may be entitled to compensation for missed paychecks if you couldn’t work, future treatment like surgery or rehab, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured since the fall. If the injury has made it harder to live your life the way you did before—whether that’s playing with your kids or performing your job—those losses should be accounted for too.

At Farzan Law, we look beyond just your bills. We work to understand the full impact of your injury so we can pursue the compensation that reflects everything you’ve been through.
