Holding Property Owners Accountable For Unsafe Conditions

Slip and fall accidents are more than just embarrassing mishaps-they’re a leading cause of serious injuries in California. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to fix hazards or warn the public, innocent people get hurt.

If you’ve suffered a slip and fall, trip and fall, or any premises liability injury, the attorneys at Golden Coast Trial Attorneys, PC are here to help you recover full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain. We’re seasoned California slip and fall lawyers who know how to build strong cases and beat insurance company excuses.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents happen every day in businesses, stores, apartment buildings, sidewalks, and private homes. We handle cases involving:

  • Wet floors in supermarkets, restaurants, or lobbies without warning signs
  • Uneven sidewalks, cracked pavement, or potholes in walkways
    Poor lighting in stairwells or parking structures
  • Loose or torn carpeting, unsecured rugs, or slick surfaces
  • Obstacles in walkways, like cords, merchandise, or clutter
  • Broken handrails or dangerous stairwells
  • Leaking pipes or roof runoff creating hidden puddles

Whether it’s a grocery store slip, mall trip, apartment stairwell fall, or hotel walkway injury, our team has handled it before-and we know how to prove the property owner or manager was negligent.
