One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLos Altos blends quiet residential streets with busy retail stretches along El Camino Real and Foothill Expressway, and falls happen in both settings — a slick tile floor at a store, a cracked walkway outside an office park, a poorly lit stairwell in an apartment building near Fremont Avenue. Under California law, proving a premises liability claim means showing the property owner or manager knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard and didn't fix it or warn visitors in time. That's often the hardest part of these cases, which is why acting quickly to document the scene and identify any surveillance footage matters. LawProactive doesn't represent you directly; we're a free service that connects Los Altos residents and visitors who've been hurt with an independent local attorney who can evaluate the notice issue, the property's maintenance history, and what your claim might involve. There's no upfront cost, and attorneys in our network work on contingency.
California requires showing a property owner knew or should have known about a hazard before it can be held liable. An attorney can help identify what evidence — inspection logs, prior complaints, maintenance records — might establish that notice.
Many Los Altos retailers and apartment complexes overwrite security footage within days or weeks. Acting quickly to request preservation of that footage can make a real difference in a premises claim.

California follows pure comparative fault, meaning your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault but isn't automatically barred. An independent attorney can help make sure your side of the story about the hazard is properly presented.
