One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSanta Monica packs roughly 93,000 residents into a few square miles, and on any given afternoon far more people than that are moving through its hotels, restaurants, retail blocks along 4th Street, beachfront paths, and apartment courtyards. Every one of those spaces has an owner or manager whose job includes spotting hazards and dealing with them. When a spill sits unattended, a handrail is loose, or a walkway stays dark after sunset, a fall can follow, and the injuries are often worse than they first seem. Under California premises liability law, the question is rarely whether you fell. It is whether the property owner knew about the hazard, or reasonably should have, and did nothing to fix it or warn you. Proving that turns on details: how long the condition existed, whether staff walked past it, whether cameras caught it. We handle premises liability claims and can start gathering that evidence before it disappears. Our team works on contingency, so there is no fee unless you recover.
California requires you to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Our team can request inspection logs, incident reports, and cleaning schedules that speak to how long the problem existed.
Many Santa Monica businesses record over surveillance footage within days. Getting a preservation demand out early is one of the most practical steps we can take on your behalf.

You generally have two years to file against a private owner, but a claim involving a city sidewalk, park, or other public property must be presented on a far shorter timeline. Knowing who owns the property changes everything about your schedule.
