Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but the most frequent locations include:

• Grocery stores, markets, and retail stores in San Diego

California Premises Liability: What Matters

California law requires property owners and occupiers to:

• Inspect for hazards regularly

• Fix dangerous conditions or block them off

• Warn visitors of dangers they cannot immediately repair

If you were injured due to a spill, broken step, raised sidewalk, missing handrail, poor lighting, uneven flooring, or another hazard, the property owner may be responsible for your injuries.

Steps to Take After a Fall in San Diego

If you can safely do so:

• Report the incident to management or the property owner

• Request an incident report and photograph it

• Take photos/video of the hazard, your shoes, and your injuries

• Obtain witness names and contact information

• Seek medical attention immediately

• Avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters before speaking to us

Early action helps preserve critical evidence that can prove your case.

Common Injuries in Slip & Fall Cases

Slip & fall accidents frequently cause:

• Concussions & traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Broken/fractured bones (wrist, hip, ankle, etc.)

• Spine, neck, and back injuries

• Shoulder rotator cuff tears, knee ligament injuries

• Herniated discs & nerve damage

• Soft tissue injuries and persistent pain

Even minor-seeming injuries can worsen over time.

Who May Be Liable for Your Fall?

Depending on where you were injured, responsible parties may include:

• Retail stores, supermarkets, and commercial tenants

• Residential landlords or property management companies

• HOA/condo associations

• Big box stores & national retail chains

• Hotels & motels

• Third-party maintenance or janitorial contractors

We identify every liable party to maximize your compensation.

Why Insurance Companies Push Back

Insurance adjusters often argue:

• “You weren’t paying attention.”

• “The hazard was obvious.”

• “You wore the wrong shoes.”

• “Our warning sign was enough.”

They do this because California uses pure comparative negligence — if they can blame you even 10%, they reduce what they pay.

We know these tactics.
We gather evidence and build a case proving the property owner’s negligence — not yours.

Damages Available in Slip & Fall Claims

Depending on your injuries, you may recover:

• Medical bills (past & future)

• Lost wages & future earning loss

• Pain, suffering & emotional distress

• Loss of enjoyment of life

• Long-term care, rehab, or home modifications

Severe injuries can result in substantial compensation.
