Slip and Fall Accident Attorney
You Didn't See It Coming. We Do This Every Day.
One second you’re walking through a parking garage, a grocery store, a hotel lobby. The next, you’re on the ground — hurt, confused, and wondering what just happened. Slip and fall accidents don’t announce themselves. And the injuries they leave behind are anything but minor.
Broken bones. Head trauma. Back and spinal injuries. Torn ligaments that require surgery and months of physical therapy. These aren’t worst-case scenarios — they’re what we see regularly in our clients’ cases. The financial fallout can be just as serious: mounting medical bills, missed work, and an insurance company that moves fast to limit what you’re owed.
What most people don’t know is that property owners — stores, landlords, businesses, government entities — are legally required to keep their premises safe. When those conditions injure someone, the owner can be held accountable.
Some of the most common hazards we see in these cases include:
- Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs posted
- Broken or uneven pavement in parking lots and walkways
- Poorly lit stairwells, hallways, or entryways
- Poorly marked walkways, curbs, special access areas
- Loose or missing handrails on stairs and ramps
- Cracked, buckled, or uneven flooring inside businesses
- Sidewalks or common area walkways left untreated by property owners
Don’t assume the accident was your fault before you talk to an attorney. Liability in these cases is often shared, and comparative negligence laws in many states mean you can still recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility for the fall. You may be entitled to far more than you think.
Can You Get Money for a Slip and Fall Accident?
Yes. But it doesn’t happen automatically.
To win a slip and fall claim, you have to show that the property owner’s negligence caused your injury — not just that you fell. That means proving the hazardous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that they failed to fix it or warn you.
Insurance companies know exactly how to challenge these cases. They know how to argue the hazard was obvious. They’ll claim you weren’t paying attention. You will get questioned whether your injuries are as serious as you say. Having an experienced attorney from the start changes the entire dynamic of that fight.
What To Do After a Slip and Fall
The steps you take in the hours and days after a fall matter enormously.
Get medical attention first. Even if you feel like you can walk it off, some injuries — particularly head trauma and soft tissue damage — don’t show their full severity right away. See a doctor, and keep records of every appointment, diagnosis, and treatment.
Document everything at the scene. Before you leave, photograph the hazard that caused your fall. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. If the property has surveillance cameras, note their locations. Ask for a copy of any incident report filed with the property.
Don’t talk to the insurance company alone. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can weaken your claim. Many people don’t realize that a single offhand comment — “I should have been watching where I was going” — can be used against them later. Call Chris and Frank first. The consultation is free, and it could make a significant difference in your outcome.
Why You Need a Slip and Fall Attorney
Premises conditions change fast. Floors get mopped, broken steps get repaired, camera footage gets overwritten — sometimes within hours of an accident. An attorney who knows what evidence to preserve and how to get it can make or break your case.
Beyond the evidence, there’s the medicine. We connect our clients with top doctors and specialists at no upfront cost. You focus on healing; we handle the rest — scheduling, paperwork, coordination with providers.
There’s also the matter of knowing what your case is actually worth. Medical bills are only part of it. Lost wages, future treatment costs, pain and suffering — these add up quickly, and insurance companies count on claimants not knowing that.
A successful slip and fall claim can recover compensation for:
- Emergency room visits, surgeries, and ongoing medical treatment
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
We know exactly what a fair settlement looks like — and we fight for every dollar of it. When it’s time to negotiate, we negotiate hard. When it’s time to go to court, we go. You won’t have to deal with adjusters, opposing attorneys, or anyone else trying to pressure you into accepting less than you deserve. That’s our job.
Why Hire Chris and Frank
We’ve recovered over $100 million for our clients. We win 99% of our cases. Those numbers matter — but so does how we treat people while we’re fighting for them.
Every client gets our VIP Concierge Services: help accessing medical treatment at no cost, cash advances to cover lost income while your case is pending, and rental car assistance if you need it. No fees unless we win. Se habla español. And with offices across California and the Pacific Northwest — and more locations opening — we’re expanding to be wherever our clients need us most.
We’ve built our reputation one client at a time. Read our 5-star Google reviews and you’ll see the same thing over and over: people who were hurt, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next — and who came out the other side with a settlement they didn’t think was possible. That’s not luck. It’s the result of an experienced team that genuinely cares about the people it represents.
Slip and fall cases move on a timeline. Evidence disappears. Statutes of limitations apply. The sooner you call, the stronger your case. That’s what we’re here for.
