Slip & Fall
What these cases are really about.
Property owners in California owe visitors reasonably safe premises. A wet supermarket aisle, a broken stair, a parking-lot pothole in the dark — the legal question is always notice: did the owner know, or should they have known, and how long was the hazard there?
Like every matter at Sipora & Sons, slip & fall cases are handled by one attorney from the first phone call to the final resolution, on contingency: no attorney's fee unless you recover.
How we handle slip & fall cases

Common questions
Slip & Fall questions.
What does it cost to hire you for a slip & fall case?
Nothing up front. These cases are handled on contingency: no attorney's fee unless a recovery is obtained. The consultation itself is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years in California, but claims against public entities require a government claim within six months, and other exceptions can shorten the window. Call early so no deadline is lost.
What should I do right now?
Get medical care and keep every record, photograph what you can, and do not give the insurance company a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.
