One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLafayette's mix of downtown shops, office parks, and residential complexes near corridors like SR-24 means plenty of foot traffic on stairways, parking lots, and walkways owned by someone else. When a property owner lets a hazard go unaddressed — a wet floor, broken step, uneven pavement, or poor lighting — and someone gets hurt, California law may hold them responsible, but only if it can be shown they knew or reasonably should have known about the danger and didn't fix it or warn visitors. That's why documenting the scene matters so much: photos of the hazard, witness names, and store surveillance footage can disappear or get overwritten within days. We can evaluate the notice issue, gather evidence before it's lost, and explain your options. The consultation is free, and there's no cost unless we recover something for you.
California premises cases hinge on proving the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. We can start building that record right away, before memories fade.
Many Lafayette businesses recycle surveillance footage within days or weeks. Getting a preservation request out quickly can be the difference between having proof and having none.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Because California uses pure comparative fault, you can still recover even if you were partly careless, but the property owner's side will try to shift blame onto you. Early legal guidance helps counter that.
