Injured in a Trip & Fall?

We Can Help

Serving Glendale, Greater Los Angeles & All of California — No Fee Unless We Win

A trip and fall accident may seem minor at first, but it can result in severe injuries such as fractures and torn ligaments to spinal cord damage and head trauma. These accidents often occur because of uneven sidewalks, broken pavement, exposed cords, cluttered walkways, or poorly maintained flooring. In Los Angeles and California, property owners, businesses, and even government agencies have a legal duty to keep walking areas free of dangerous trip hazards. At Williams & Gasparian Law, our attorneys bring over 50 years of combined experience holding negligent parties accountable and securing maximum compensation for victims of trip and fall accidents.

Why Trust Williams & Gasparian Law

California Premises Liability in Trip & Fall Cases

California law requires property owners and occupiers to maintain safe walking surfaces and promptly address hazards they know about or should have discovered through reasonable inspections. Failing to fix or warn about dangerous conditions can make them liable for injuries caused by a trip and fall. California follows a comparative negligence system, meaning you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault — though your compensation is reduced in proportion to your share of fault.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

If your trip and fall happened on a Los Angeles sidewalk, in a store, at an apartment complex, or inside a public building anywhere in California, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Property owners and managers are legally responsible for maintaining safe walking areas, and when they fail, they can be held accountable. Williams & Gasparian Law will investigate your accident, identify every liable party, and fight to recover the maximum possible compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
