One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesBelvedere is a small place, roughly 2,121 residents on a Marin County peninsula, and much of the ground people walk on here is steep, shared, or privately maintained. Think hillside steps, waterfront docks, sloped driveways, and the paths and lanes near Beach Road, Bayview Avenue, Graham Avenue and Peninsula Road. When a surface is slick, uneven, poorly lit, or missing a handrail and someone goes down, California premises liability law asks one central question: did the owner know about the hazard, or should they have known, and did they fail to fix it or warn people? That element, called notice, is where these cases are won or lost. It is also why same-day photos, the names of anyone who saw you fall, and a quick written request to preserve surveillance footage carry so much weight. You generally have two years to file, and considerably less if a public entity owns the property. Contact us today to discuss what happened, and our team will review your claim on contingency.
California requires proof that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Our team knows how to build that proof through maintenance records, prior complaints and inspection logs.
Most premises claims carry a two-year filing window, but a fall on city, county or state property triggers a much shorter government claim deadline. Getting in touch early keeps those options open.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, being partly responsible reduces your recovery rather than eliminating it. Preserving video and documenting the scene helps keep your share of fault where it belongs.
