One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSanta Rosa is the largest city in Sonoma County, home to roughly 175,000 people who move through grocery stores, wine-country hotels, medical offices, and the retail strips along Santa Rosa Avenue and Stony Point Road every day. Property owners and tenants who invite the public onto their premises take on a duty to keep those spaces reasonably safe. When a spill sits unmarked, a stair tread comes loose, or a walkway stays unlit long after someone should have noticed, a fall is often the result. Under California premises liability law, the injured person generally has to show that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and did not fix it or warn about it. That element, called notice, is where most of these cases are won or lost, which is why what you gather in the first days matters so much. Photos, witness names, an incident report, and a request that the business preserve its surveillance footage can all help. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm; the attorney we connect you with works independently and only charges a fee if you recover.
In California, a fall alone is not enough; the property owner generally must have known or should have known about the hazard. The attorneys in our network build that proof through inspection records, employee statements, and prior complaints.
Many Santa Rosa businesses overwrite surveillance footage within days or weeks. An attorney can send a preservation demand early so the recording of your fall is not lost.

Most California premises claims carry a two-year filing deadline, but a fall on city, county, or state property triggers a much shorter government claim period. Getting connected quickly helps protect your rights either way.
