How we handle slip and fall cases
In a California premises liability case, the injured person generally must show that the property owner or manager knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to repair it or warn visitors. We move quickly to preserve incident reports, surveillance video, photos of the hazard, maintenance and inspection logs, and witness information, because this evidence can disappear fast.
Claims against a city, county or other public entity have a much shorter deadline: a government claim usually must be filed within six months (California Government Code section 911.2).
