One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPoint Arena is a small coastal community of roughly 446 people, but the businesses, motels, and public spaces along Port Road, Main Street, and Lake Street still carry the same legal responsibilities as anywhere else in California. Property owners and managers have a duty to keep walkways, stairs, and floors reasonably safe, and to fix or warn about known hazards. When a wet floor, broken step, uneven pavement, or poor lighting causes a fall, the property owner may be liable — but only if it can be shown they knew, or reasonably should have known, about the danger. Because Point Arena is rural and many properties don't have dedicated security staff, gathering evidence quickly matters even more here. Photos of the hazard, witness names, and any surveillance footage from a nearby shop or motel can make a real difference. Our team can review what happened and explain your options.
California law requires showing the property owner had actual or constructive notice of the hazard before your fall. We can help gather maintenance logs, prior complaint records, and witness statements to establish that notice.
Many small businesses and motels overwrite security footage within days or weeks. Acting quickly to request preservation of any video can be critical to supporting your claim.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning your recovery can be reduced but not eliminated if you were partly at fault. We can help explain how this might apply to your specific situation.
