One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Clemente draws visitors and residents on foot to its pier, beach trails, and shopping corridors along S El Camino Real and N El Camino Real, and that foot traffic means falls happen — on wet tile, cracked walkways, poorly lit stairwells, and uneven parking lots. California law doesn't automatically hold a property owner responsible just because someone fell; you generally need to show the owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard and failed to address it. That's why documentation matters so much here: photos of the specific condition, witness names, and store or building surveillance footage before it gets erased. We review premises liability claims and help you understand what evidence still needs to be preserved and what your claim may involve.
California requires showing the property owner had actual or constructive notice of the hazard and enough time to fix or warn about it. Our team can help identify what evidence supports that notice.
You generally have two years to file a premises liability claim in California, but surveillance footage and physical conditions can disappear within days, so early documentation is critical.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Even if you were partly distracted or moving quickly when you fell, California's pure comparative fault rule allows you to recover a share of damages proportional to the owner's responsibility.
