Slip and Falls

Don’t Let a Property Owner’s Negligence Jeopardize Your Financial Future

If you slipped, tripped, or fell on someone else’s property in Los Angeles, and your injuries were caused by a preventable hazard, you may have the right to pursue legal action. Property owners in California have a duty to maintain safe conditions and to fix or warn about known dangers. When they fail to meet that responsibility, and someone gets hurt, the law allows you to hold them accountable.

At Need Justice Now, APC, our Los Angeles slip and fall attorneys help people across California recover compensation for serious injuries caused by dangerous surfaces, poor maintenance, and neglected safety protocols. We represent clients throughout California, and we know how to build strong cases based on clear evidence and focused legal strategy.

When a Fall Is More Than Just an Accident

Falls happen quickly, but the consequences often last much longer. You may be dealing with a fractured wrist, a torn ligament, or a head injury that makes it hard to return to work or daily routines. Insurance companies often treat these cases as if they are minor, but our attorneys know that many falls result in significant medical costs, time off, and long-term physical limitations.

Our team handles slip and fall cases involving:

• Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
• Uneven sidewalks or cracked pavement
• Loose rugs or carpeting in common areas
• Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
• Leaking pipes, broken tiles, or uncleaned spills
• Cluttered walkways or poorly placed furniture in public spaces

We also handle falls on staircases where broken handrails, worn edges, or inconsistent step heights played a role. If your fall occurred in a grocery store, parking lot, hotel, apartment complex, or office building, we can investigate whether the owner or operator failed to act reasonably.

The Importance of Notice in a Slip and Fall Case

One of the most important legal questions in a slip and fall case is whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. This concept, called “notice,” is essential under California law. A store or landlord cannot be expected to fix a problem they had no way of discovering, but they are required to inspect regularly and take action once a danger is found.

For example, if a spill remained on the floor for over an hour and employees walked past it without doing anything, that may be enough to establish notice. Our firm reviews inspection logs, video footage, incident reports, and witness testimony to show whether the owner had a fair opportunity to fix the issue before you got hurt.

We do the legal work so you can focus on getting better.

What If the Hazard Was Obvious?

Property owners often argue that the danger was “open and obvious,” and that you should have seen it and avoided it. This defense does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. Under California law, even an obvious danger can create liability if the property owner failed to protect visitors from foreseeable harm.

For instance, if a clearly visible broken step exists at the entrance to a business and no other access point is available, the owner may still be responsible. We know how to push back against these arguments and present a case that focuses on what the owner should have done—not just what they say you should have seen.
