One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSidewalks in San Francisco climb, tilt, and crack. Add a fog-damp morning, a grocery aisle along Mission Street that went hours without a mop, or a Nob Hill stairwell with a burned-out bulb, and an ordinary errand can end in the emergency room. Traffic tends to get the headlines here—3,471 injury collisions across the city in 2025—but a great many serious injuries happen on foot, on property somebody else was responsible for maintaining. California law asks a pointed question after a fall: did the owner know, or should they have known, about the hazard and fail to fix it or warn you? That notice element is where premises cases are won or lost, and it rests on evidence that vanishes quickly. Store cameras overwrite. Spills get cleaned. Witnesses head home. Our team handles premises liability claims in San Francisco County on a contingency basis, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. Contact us for a free case review with no obligation.
In California you generally have to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and did nothing. We dig into inspection logs, maintenance records, and prior complaints to build that piece of the case.
Most premises claims in California carry a two-year filing window, but if a public entity such as the City and County of San Francisco owns the property, the clock is far shorter. A quick consultation helps make sure nothing lapses while you heal.
