California Slip & Fall Accident Attorneys
Slip and fall accidents may sound minor, but they can result in devastating, life-altering injuries. A wet floor, broken pavement, poor lighting, or unsafe stairway can send a person to the hospital with fractured bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain damage. In California, property owners including businesses, landlords, and government entities have a legal duty to maintain safe premises.
When they fail in that duty and someone is hurt, they can be held liable. Masjedi & Associates has been holding negligent property owners accountable for over 28 years.
