In our experience, fall accident victims in Oakland are often injured due to:
Unsafe property conditions (wet floors, broken stairs, uneven sidewalks).
Poor property maintenance on public or private property.
Failure of property owners to warn of hazards.
Inadequate lighting in stairwells or parking lots.
Spills and clutter in restaurants, grocery stores, and retail shops.

Falls are a leading cause of injury in California. According to the CDC, one in five falls results in serious injuries such as broken bones or traumatic brain injuries. Common injuries from slip and fall accidents include bone fractures, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. In Alameda County, which includes Oakland, hospitalizations for fall injuries remain one of the top causes of emergency visits, particularly among older adults (Source: CDC – Falls Data).
These statistics highlight the importance of holding property owners accountable for unsafe property conditions and protecting the rights of fall accident victims.
Under California law, if you suffer a fall injury on someone else’s property due to property owner’s negligence, you may be entitled to file a premises liability claim.

Medical bills and mounting medical expenses.
Lost income and lost wages.
Long-term costs for chronic pain or rehabilitation.
Compensation for emotional pain and suffering.
Even if the accident scene was partly your fault, you may still recover damages under California’s comparative negligence rules. In California, victims typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a slip and fall lawsuit.
