California Slip and Fall Lawyers – 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 and 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.
Where Slip and Fall Accidents Happen Most
We represent victims of slip and fall injuries across all types of premises, including:
- Grocery stores (e.g., Trader Joe’s, Ralphs, Costco)
- Shopping malls and department stores
- Apartment buildings and condos
- Hotels, motels, and vacation rentals (e.g., Airbnb, Vrbo)
- Office buildings and commercial spaces
- Government buildings and public sidewalks
- Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and fast food chains
- Construction sites and warehouses
- Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes
Our premises liability lawyers work quickly to identify who is responsible—whether it’s a private landlord, national retailer, property management company, or government agency.
Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall injuries can be painful, expensive, and life-changing—especially for older adults. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones (hips, wrists, ankles, arms)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or concussions from head impact
- Back and spinal injuries, including herniated discs and nerve damage
- Soft tissue injuries like sprains, torn ligaments, or deep bruises
- Cuts, abrasions, and facial trauma
- Permanent mobility loss or disability
- Wrongful death in extreme fall cases (especially in the elderly)
Even “minor” falls can result in months of physical therapy, lost work, and chronic pain. We take every injury seriously and fight for full compensation.
Why You Need a Slip and Fall Lawyer
Insurance companies love to dismiss slip and fall claims as “your fault.” They often argue:
- You should have watched where you were going
- The hazard was “open and obvious”
- The business “didn’t know” about the danger
- You weren’t hurt that badly
Don’t fall for it. Our legal team knows how to shut these arguments down. We:
- Investigate and preserve evidence (surveillance footage, maintenance records, incident reports)
- Interview witnesses, employees, and other victims
- Work with safety experts to show how the fall could have been prevented
- Compile medical records and expert testimony to prove your injury and damages
- Negotiate aggressively with insurers—and go to trial when necessary
Without a lawyer, you risk getting blamed or undercompensated. We protect your rights every step of the way.
Compensation in Slip and Fall Cases
Our goal is to get you the maximum possible recovery under California premises liability law. We fight for:
- Medical expenses (hospital visits, surgery, rehab, prescriptions, medical equipment)
- Future medical care for ongoing treatment or permanent disabilities
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Out-of-pocket costs (transportation, home care, help with daily tasks)

Slip and fall injuries often involve more costs than you realize. We ensure no damage is overlooked or undervalued.
