The Condition That Caused Your Fall Matters
A spill can be cleaned, a broken step repaired, and a surveillance recording overwritten. After a serious fall, preserving the condition and its history can be essential to proving the claim.
Glendale Law Group represents people injured in slip, trip, and fall incidents in Glendale and throughout Southern California. We investigate who controlled the property, what made it unsafe, and whether the responsible party failed to take reasonable precautions.
- Spills, leaks, and slippery walking surfaces
- Broken steps, uneven floors, and damaged walkways
- Inadequate lighting or missing safety features
- Hazards in stores, apartment buildings, parking areas, and other properties
An injury on someone else’s property does not automatically establish liability. The claim must connect an unsafe condition and a failure to use reasonable care to the injury. Public property is governed by different rules.
Show What the Property Owner Knew or Should Have Known
Inspection logs, cleaning records, prior complaints, repair history, and video can help establish whether a hazard was created, discovered, or left unaddressed. We seek the records that explain how the condition developed and who was responsible for dealing with it.
Photographs should show the exact location and the surrounding area. Witness names, an incident report number, and the shoes you wore can also matter. Preserve original files and avoid altering potential evidence.
We document the medical consequences, time away from work, and continuing limitations as part of the claim. For practical steps you can take now, read our guide to what to do after a fall. Claims involving public property can have special notice requirements, so deadlines need prompt review.
