One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAlhambra's shopping and dining blocks along Main Street, Valley Boulevard and Mission Road keep sidewalks, storefronts and parking structures busy well into the evening. Most visits end without incident. When one doesn't, whether it's a wet floor near a market entrance, a broken step at an apartment complex or a dim stairwell in a garage, California premises liability law asks whether the property owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you. That element, called notice, is where many claims are won or lost. Proof fades quickly: spills get mopped, businesses overwrite camera footage within days, and witnesses move on. We handle premises liability claims in Los Angeles County. Our team works on contingency, so there is no fee unless your claim results in a recovery. You generally have two years to file, and less when a public entity owns the property.
California does not hold owners liable simply because someone fell. We focus on showing the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and left it unaddressed.
Surveillance systems at Alhambra stores and garages often overwrite footage in a matter of days. An early preservation request, along with photos of the hazard and your shoes, can keep that evidence from vanishing.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Most claims must be filed within two years, and the window is much shorter if a city or other public entity owns the property. Under California's pure comparative fault rule, being partly responsible reduces a recovery but does not erase it.
