Injured in a Slip,
Trip or Fall on Someone Else's Property?

One 15-minute call could be worth thousands of dollars to you.
Find out if you're eligible for compensation in California.

Around 8.3 million Americans get
hurt in falls. Most of them never see a dime.

The property owner's insurance company gets to work the moment you slip and fall. They send an adjuster. They review the scene. They pull their records. They figure out the minimum amount it'll take to close your claim - before you've even been to the doctor.

And if you're like most people - overwhelmed, in pain, not sure if you even have a case… You might just take it. Thousands of people in Los Angeles do exactly that, every single year.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can't afford a lawyer?
You don't pay us anything upfront. Ever. Our fee comes from your settlement - and only if we win. If we lose, you owe us nothing. There is literally no financial risk to picking up the phone.
I don't think my case is worth it.
That's exactly what the insurance company wants you to think. Most people significantly underestimate what their case is worth - because they don't know that 'pain and suffering,' 'emotional distress,' and 'loss of enjoyment of life' are all real, compensable damages in California. Let us tell you what it's actually worth. That assessment is free.
I already gave a recorded statement. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. A recorded statement complicates things - but it doesn't automatically kill your case. We've worked through this before. Call us and let's talk through what was said and what we can do.
What happens if I wait too long? The accident was months ago.
California gives you 6 months from the date of the injury to file a claim. If it's been less than 6 months, you still have time. If it's been more - there may still be exceptions that apply to your situation. Don't assume it's over without talking to us first.
They already offered me a settlement. Should I just take it?
Please don't - not before you talk to us. First offers from insurance companies are almost never fair. They're designed to close the claim before you know what you're entitled to. One free phone call could be the difference between taking $3,000 and walking away with what your case is actually worth.
I signed something already. Is it over?
Not always. Some releases are void if signed under duress, without full information, or before the full extent of your injuries was known. It's worth a conversation. That conversation costs you nothing.
I'm embarrassed to make a big deal out of this.
You're not making a big deal out of nothing. You were hurt because someone else didn't do their job. California law exists for exactly this reason. Reporting it isn't greedy. It's your right.

If your fall was caused by unsafe conditions, California law allows you to recover compensation for the full impact it's had on your health, your work, and your daily life.
