One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesA fall rarely announces itself. One moment you are stepping through a doorway on N Main Street or crossing a parking lot off E Laurel Drive, and the next you are on the ground trying to work out what just happened. In Salinas, as everywhere in California, the question that decides a premises liability claim is notice: did the property owner know about the hazard, or should they have known, and did they fail to fix it or warn about it? Answering that takes evidence gathered early — photos of the spill, the broken step, the unlit stairwell — along with witness names and a prompt written request that any surveillance footage be preserved before it is overwritten. Deadlines matter too. Most claims must be filed within two years, and if the property belongs to a public entity in Monterey County, the window is far shorter. Our team handles these cases on contingency, so you can focus on healing.
California requires proof that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. We know how to build that proof through inspection logs, cleaning schedules, and prior complaints.
Store and lot cameras often overwrite footage within days. We can send a preservation demand quickly and document the hazard while it still looks the way it did when you fell.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
You generally have two years to file, but claims against a city or county entity move much faster. Under California's pure comparative fault rule, a claim can still proceed even if part of the blame lands on you.
