One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFalls rarely make the news the way collisions on I-80 or Richmond Parkway do, but for the roughly 110,000 people who live in Richmond, a bad fall inside a grocery store, a rental complex, or a parking structure can be every bit as disruptive. The core of a California premises liability claim is notice: you generally have to show the owner or manager knew about the hazard, or reasonably should have known, and failed to repair it or warn you. That is why what you do in the first few days matters so much. Photographs of the spill, the loose tile, or the missing handrail, names of anyone who saw it, and a prompt written request that the business keep its surveillance footage can make the difference between a claim that holds up and one that fades. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Richmond residents with an independent attorney in our network, and those attorneys work on contingency, so there is no fee unless your case recovers money.
Proving the owner knew or should have known about the hazard is the hinge of a California premises case. The independent attorneys we connect you with build claims around inspection logs, prior complaints, and how long the condition existed.
Store and apartment cameras often overwrite footage within days. Getting an attorney involved early means a preservation demand can go out before the recording of your fall disappears.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Most California premises claims carry a two-year filing deadline, but claims against a city, county, or other public entity are much shorter. California's pure comparative fault rule also means you can still recover even if you were partly responsible, with the award reduced by your share.
