California Slip and Fall Attorney for Serious Premises Liability Claims

Slip and fall accidents may sound minor—but for many victims, they lead to severe injuries, long-term medical care, and unexpected time away from work. If you’ve fallen due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, you may have a valid claim under California’s premises liability laws. At BD&J, PC, Attorney Michael Madadi fights for injury victims and helps them secure the compensation they need to recover and move forward.

What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?

A slip and fall occurs when a person falls due to an unsafe or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. These conditions often include:

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
  • Uneven pavement or broken sidewalks
  • Loose carpeting or floorboards
  • Poor lighting in hallways or stairwells
  • Spilled substances in stores or restaurants
  • Cluttered walkways or staircases without railings

If the property owner or manager knew—or should have known—about the hazard and failed to fix it, they may be legally responsible for your injuries.

Common Locations Where Slip and Falls Occur

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but they’re especially common in:

  • Grocery stores and retail outlets
  • Apartment complexes
  • Hotels and resorts
  • Office buildings and corporate campuses
  • Restaurants and bars
  • Parking lots and garages
  • Government property or public walkways

Our team at BD&J thoroughly investigates the location, ownership, and maintenance records to determine liability.

Serious Injuries That Deserve Legal Attention

Slip and fall injuries can be far more serious than a simple bruise or sprain. Many victims suffer:

  • Fractures and broken bones (especially wrists, hips, and ankles)
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Torn ligaments or soft tissue injuries
  • Dislocations or nerve damage

These injuries often require extensive treatment, and the physical pain can be compounded by financial stress. That’s where we step in.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

Taking the right steps immediately after a fall can help protect your health and legal rights:

Seek medical attention, even if injuries appear minor at first

Report the incident to property management and request a copy of the report

Take photos of the hazard and surrounding area

Collect witness information, if available

Avoid speaking to the property owner’s insurer before consulting with a lawyer

Michael Madadi and the BD&J team handle every aspect of your case while you focus on healing.

  • Medical bills and future treatment
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
