California slip and fall injury lawyer
Premises Duties, Real-World Injuries
Unsafe properties shouldn’t cost you everything
Unmarked spills, broken stairs, dim parking lots, and uneven walkways cause serious harm across California. As a slip and fall attorney, The Guerrero Firm documents hazards, notice, and what property owners should have fixed or warned about. We pair investigation with a medical plan that reflects your symptoms and recovery timeline.
How These Accidents Happen
From wet floors to broken handrails
Common scenarios include loose mats, cluttered aisles, potholes, poor lighting, and code-violating steps or rails. We secure photos, incident reports, cleaning logs, and witness statements to show how long a dangerous condition existed and why it was unreasonable.
Steps to Take After a Fall
Report, document, and get checked out
Notify management and request an incident report. Photograph the hazard and injuries. Seek prompt medical evaluation—even when pain builds gradually. Avoid signing broad releases or giving detailed statements to property insurers until we review them together.
Proving Negligence the Right Way
Evidence that turns a denial into a payout
Premises cases often turn on whether the owner knew or should have known of the danger. We obtain surveillance, maintenance schedules, and prior-complaint histories. If a product failure contributed (collapsed ladder, failed railing), we explore defective products claims. Severe outcomes can overlap with wrongful death when fall injuries prove fatal.
Damages and Recovery
Medical bills, time off work, and long-term effects
We pursue medical expenses, therapy, lost wages, and non-economic damages for pain, loss of function, and lifestyle changes. Older adults and workers in physical jobs face unique hurdles—we build those realities into valuation.
