Los Angeles is home to thousands of aging buildings, entertainment venues, shopping malls, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, tenants, and customers under California Civil Code Section 1714.
Dangerous conditions are common in older buildings throughout Downtown LA, Hollywood, Koreatown, East LA, and across the county. Cracked sidewalks, broken stairways, inadequate lighting, and defective elevators cause serious injuries every day.
LA's entertainment industry brings millions of visitors to concert venues, nightclubs, bars, stadiums, and theme parks every year. When these venues fail to maintain safe conditions or provide adequate security, they can be held liable for injuries.
If you have been injured on someone else's property, evidence preservation is critical. Surveillance footage gets erased, conditions get repaired, and witnesses forget. Having an attorney act quickly on your behalf protects your right to full compensation.
Wet floors, uneven surfaces, broken tiles, and spills in stores, restaurants, and buildings.
Broken stairs, missing handrails, defective elevators, and inadequate security in rental housing.
Assaults, robberies, and attacks due to inadequate lighting, broken locks, or missing security.
Poor lighting, uneven surfaces, falling objects, and vehicle-pedestrian collisions in parking structures.
Falling merchandise, spills, broken displays, and hazards in malls and retail locations.
Clubs, concerts, stadiums, and theme parks with crowd crush, falls, and structural failures.
Property injuries in Los Angeles follow recognizable patterns. If any of these scenarios match what happened to you, call us right away.
Slipped on a wet floor in a grocery store or restaurant — no warning signs, no mats, and no cleanup. The property owner is responsible for maintaining safe conditions.
Fell on broken stairs or a crumbling walkway at an apartment building — landlords in LA are required to maintain common areas in safe condition under California law.
Assaulted in a parking garage with broken lights and no security cameras — property owners who fail to provide adequate security can be held liable for criminal acts on their premises.
Injured at an entertainment venue or mall due to a structural defect — LA's entertainment venues and shopping centers owe a high duty of care to visitors.
The timeline for filing depends on the specific circumstances of your case. California law provides two years from the date of the injury. If you were injured on government property — a city sidewalk, a public building, a park — you must file an administrative claim within just six months.
Under California Civil Code Section 1714, property owners owe a duty of reasonable care to everyone who enters their property. They must inspect for hazards, repair dangerous conditions, and warn visitors of known dangers.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially at fault for your injury, you can still recover damages. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.
Property owners carry commercial general liability (CGL) insurance. Homeowner policies start at $100k or more. We investigate every applicable policy to maximize your recovery.
