Slip and Fall Accidents

Slippery floors, spilled liquids, and poorly maintained surfaces may not seem dangerous—until you’re the one who falls. A slip and fall accident can cause serious injuries that impact your health, finances, and future.

​

At L WOOD LAW, we represent people across California who’ve been hurt because a property owner or business failed to maintain a safe environment. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, we’re here to fight for the compensation you deserve.

​

What Is a Slip and Fall Case?

 

Slip and fall accidents fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible for keeping their premises safe. When they fail to correct a known hazard—or even warn you about it—and that leads to a fall, they may be legally liable for your injuries.

​

Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

​

• Wet or freshly mopped floors without warning signs

• Spills left uncleaned in grocery stores or restaurants

• Slippery surfaces due to rain, snow, or ice

• Leaks or water accumulation in entryways

• Loose rugs or floor mats

• Polished or uneven flooring

• Pool or gym areas with inadequate drainage or signage

 

At L WOOD LAW, we dig into the details of your fall to uncover exactly what went wrong—and who’s responsible.

​

Where Do Slip and Falls Happen?

 

These accidents can happen anywhere, including:

​

• Supermarkets, malls, and retail stores

• Hotels, restaurants, and bars

• Apartment complexes or rental homes

• Hospitals or medical offices

• Parking lots and garages

• Government buildings or public spaces

• Private homes

 

We hold negligent property owners, businesses, and landlords accountable—no matter the setting.

​

Slip and Fall Injuries Can Be Severe

 

Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injuries—especially among older adults. Common injuries include:

​

• Broken hips, wrists, or ankles

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or concussions

• Back and spinal cord injuries

• Soft tissue damage (sprains, torn ligaments)

• Facial injuries and dental trauma

• Long-term mobility issues

 

L WOOD LAW partners with medical experts to evaluate your injuries, estimate future care needs, and strengthen your case for full compensation.

​

What Damages Can You Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your slip and fall, you may be entitled to financial recovery for:

​

• Emergency room treatment and medical bills

• Rehabilitation or physical therapy

• Lost income and reduced earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Loss of enjoyment of life

• Permanent disability or scarring

 

We take your case seriously—because we know the consequences of a fall can be far more than physical.

Don’t Let the Insurance Company Undermine Your Claim

 

Insurers often downplay slip and fall accidents or argue that the victim was "just clumsy." Don’t let them minimize your experience.

​

At L WOOD LAW, we gather evidence, obtain incident reports, interview witnesses, and take photos and surveillance footage to prove negligence. We handle all communications with insurers so you can focus on your recovery.

​

Time Is Limited—Act Now

In California, most slip and fall claims must be filed within two years. If the accident happened on public property (like a city sidewalk or courthouse), the deadline to file a government claim can be as short as six months.

​

Contact L WOOD LAW as soon as possible so we can begin preserving evidence and building your case.
