Claim it before someone else doesA wet tile floor outside a restaurant on West Coast Highway. A loose stair tread in a rental along the harbor. A parking-lot pothole hidden in evening shade off Jamboree Road. Falls in Newport Beach rarely announce themselves, and the aftermath can be disorienting: a trip to the emergency room, missed work, and a property manager who suddenly stops returning calls. California law puts a specific burden on you. To recover, you generally have to show the owner or occupier knew about the hazard, or reasonably should have known, and did nothing to fix it or warn you. That word, notice, often decides premises cases in Orange County, which is why what you do in the first days matters so much. Photograph the spot before it is cleaned or repaired. Ask for the incident report. Request that any camera footage be preserved before it is overwritten. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects you with an independent attorney who handles premises liability claims here and works on contingency.
Premises cases in California turn on whether the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. The attorneys in our network know how to look for inspection logs, prior complaints, and maintenance records that show what the owner was aware of.
Many Newport Beach businesses record their floors and entrances, but footage is often overwritten within days. An attorney can send a preservation demand quickly so the recording of your fall is not lost.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Most claims must be filed within two years, and the window is much shorter when a public entity owns the property. California's pure comparative fault rule also means you can still recover even if you were partly to blame, so a quick conversation with an attorney can clarify where you stand.
