Trip and Fall Accidents
Injured on an Unsafe Property? L WOOD LAW can help.
Tripping over uneven pavement, broken stairs, or poorly maintained flooring may seem minor—until the injuries set in. A serious trip and fall can lead to lasting pain, steep medical bills, and time away from work. When a property owner fails to fix or warn about hazardous conditions, they can and should be held responsible.
At L WOOD LAW, we represent individuals across California who’ve been injured due to dangerous property conditions. If you’ve suffered a trip and fall injury, we’ll help you pursue the compensation you need to heal and move forward.
What Is a Trip and Fall Accident?
A trip and fall accident occurs when someone falls due to an unsafe condition on someone else’s property—such as a business, apartment complex, parking lot, or public sidewalk. These cases fall under California’s premises liability laws, which require property owners to keep their spaces reasonably safe for guests and visitors.
Common trip and fall hazards include:
-
Uneven sidewalks or broken pavement
-
Loose carpeting or floor mats
-
Poor lighting in hallways or stairwells
-
Unmarked steps or elevation changes
-
Cluttered walkways
-
Broken or missing handrails
-
Damaged or cracked flooring
If your fall was caused by a preventable hazard, L WOOD LAW is here to help you prove it—and fight for accountability.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on the situation, the responsible party could include:
-
Private property owners
-
Commercial businesses (stores, restaurants, hotels)
-
Landlords and management companies
-
Government entities (for public sidewalks or buildings)
-
Contractors responsible for repairs or maintenance
We investigate every angle of your case, gather evidence (photos, surveillance, incident reports, witness statements), and determine who failed to meet their legal duty.
Trip and Fall Injuries Can Be Serious
While some falls result in bruises or sprains, many lead to far more severe injuries—especially for older adults. These can include:
-
Fractured hips, wrists, or ankles
-
Head trauma and concussions
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Knee and shoulder damage
-
Cuts, lacerations, and disfigurement
-
Chronic pain or mobility issues
At L WOOD LAW, we work with medical experts to document your injuries and make sure your claim reflects the full impact—now and in the future.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been hurt in a trip and fall accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
-
Emergency room visits and medical treatment
-
Ongoing physical therapy or rehabilitation
-
Lost wages and diminished earning ability
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Permanent disability or disfigurement
We handle the legal side so you can focus on recovery—with confidence that your case is in good hands.
Don’t Wait—There Are Time Limits
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident. Claims involving public property or government agencies may require a claim within six months.
The sooner you call L WOOD LAW, the sooner we can gather time-sensitive evidence—such as video footage, maintenance logs, or witness statements—and build your case.
