Slips & Falls

You Fell. It Wasn’t Your Fault. Now Let’s Fight for What You Deserve.

One moment you’re walking through a store, a parking lot, or a neighbor’s property. The next, you’re on the ground, injured, humiliated, and wondering what just happened.

Slip and fall accidents are far more serious than people give them credit for. Broken bones. Spinal injuries. Head trauma. These aren’t minor inconveniences. They’re life-changing events, and when someone else’s negligence caused your fall, they should be held accountable.

Pay nothing until we win.

California Premises Liability Law: What Protects You

California law is clear. Property owners and businesses have a legal duty of care to keep their premises safe for anyone who enters. This falls under premises liability law, and it applies to a wide range of property types including retail stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, parking lots, sidewalks, and private homes.

When a property owner or their employees know, or reasonably should have known, about a dangerous condition and fail to fix it, they are negligent. If that negligence caused your injury, you have the right to pursue compensation.

The law covers situations where:

• A property owner or employee created the dangerous condition
• A property owner or employee knew about the hazard and ignored it
• The hazard existed long enough that a reasonable owner should have discovered and fixed it

You don’t have to prove intent. You just have to prove negligence. And that’s exactly what we do.

The Real Cost of a Slip and Fall Injury

A hard fall can do serious damage to your body. Victims of slip and fall accidents in Los Angeles frequently suffer:

• Broken wrists, arms, and ankles from bracing the fall
• Hip fractures, especially devastating for older victims
• Knee injuries and torn ligaments
• Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs
• Traumatic brain injuries from hitting the head
• Shoulder dislocations and rotator cuff tears
• Chronic pain and long-term mobility issues
• Emotional distress, anxiety, and loss of confidence

These injuries don’t just hurt. They cost. Lost wages, surgery, physical therapy, medication, and long-term care can add up fast. Your compensation needs to cover all of it, not just the first hospital bill.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall in Los Angeles

How you handle the hours and days after your fall can make or break your claim. Here’s what we tell every client:

1. Seek medical attention immediately: Even if the pain seems manageable, get examined. Some injuries, like spinal damage or internal bleeding, don’t fully present right away. Medical records are also critical evidence.
2. Report the incident: Tell the property owner, store manager, or landlord before you leave. Make sure a formal incident report is created. Ask for a copy.
3. Document the scene: Take photos and videos of exactly where you fell, the wet floor, the broken step, the missing signage. Do it before anything gets cleaned up or fixed.
4. Get witness information: If anyone saw what happened, get their name and contact details.
5. Don’t sign anything: Insurance adjusters move fast. Don’t accept any settlements or sign any documents before speaking with an attorney.
6. Call Ravan Law: The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case. Evidence disappears quickly. Property owners fix hazards and deny they ever existed. We move fast so you don’t lose leverage.
