One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWalnut Creek is home to roughly 68,910 residents, and on any given afternoon far more people pass through its shops, offices, and restaurants along N Main Street and Treat Boulevard. Every one of those properties has an owner or manager responsible for keeping walkways, entrances, and parking areas reasonably safe. When a fall happens, the question under California law is usually notice: did the owner know about the hazard, or should they have discovered it, and did they fail to fix it or warn you? That is where evidence matters most. A photo of the spill before it was mopped, the name of the employee who saw you fall, and a written request that the business preserve its camera footage can decide a case months later. Time also works against you. Most premises claims in California must be filed within two years, and a claim against a public entity, such as a city sidewalk or a county building, carries a much shorter window. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. Tell us what happened, and we will connect you with an independent Walnut Creek attorney who works on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California requires proof that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. An attorney gathers maintenance logs, inspection schedules, and prior complaints to show how long the condition existed.
Many Walnut Creek stores and parking structures record over their footage within days. A prompt preservation letter from an attorney is often the only way that video survives.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California applies pure comparative fault, so a property owner may argue you were partly to blame. Your attorney pushes back on that argument and manages the two-year deadline, or the shorter one for public entities.
