One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPalo Alto blends dense retail corridors along University Avenue, tech campuses, and older residential streets, which means the conditions behind a fall vary widely — a cracked walkway near Middlefield Road, a slick floor inside a café, a poorly lit apartment stairwell. Whatever the setting, California law asks a specific question: did the property owner know, or should they have reasonably known, about the hazard, and did they fail to fix or warn about it? That single issue often decides a premises liability claim. Because evidence like spill logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage can disappear quickly, documenting the scene and reporting the fall matters. We handle slip and fall claims and can evaluate the hazard, gather evidence before it's gone, and explain your options. There's no cost for a case review, and no fee owed unless your case results in a recovery.
California requires showing the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. We can pull maintenance logs, prior complaints, and inspection records to build that case.
Many stores and buildings overwrite security video within days or weeks. Acting quickly to request preservation of that footage can be critical to your claim.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Even if you were partly distracted or moving quickly when you fell, California's pure comparative fault rule still allows you to recover a share of damages reduced by your percentage of fault.
