One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSebastopol's mix of small downtown storefronts, farm-to-market venues, and older apartment buildings means uneven walkways, wet floors, and poorly lit stairwells show up more often than people expect. Under California law, a property owner isn't automatically responsible just because someone got hurt on their premises — you generally need to show they knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard and didn't fix it or warn visitors in time. That's why what happens in the minutes and days after a fall matters so much. Photos of the actual hazard, the names of any witnesses, and a written incident report can make the difference in a claim. Surveillance footage is often erased on a short cycle, so requesting it early is critical. If you were hurt in a fall anywhere in Sebastopol, from Bodega Avenue businesses to a residential complex off Petaluma Avenue, we can connect you with an attorney who reviews these details at no upfront cost to you.
California requires showing the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. An attorney can help gather maintenance logs, prior complaints, or repair records to establish this.
Even if you're found partly at fault for not seeing a spill or a cracked step, California's pure comparative fault rule still lets you recover a share of damages tied to the property owner's responsibility.
