Slip and Fall Lawyer in Palmdale

The short answer

If you fell at a store, apartment complex, or parking lot in Palmdale, report it to the manager before you leave, take photos of what made you fall, and keep your shoes. The owner may be responsible if they created the hazard, knew about it, or should have found it. Businesses often record over their video within days, so call quickly. You generally have two years to file, but only six months for a claim against the City of Palmdale or another public agency, for example over a broken city sidewalk.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I tripped on a broken sidewalk in Palmdale. Who is responsible?

It may be the City of Palmdale, a property owner, or both, depending on where and why the sidewalk was broken. A claim against the city requires a written government claim, usually within six months.

The store manager wrote an incident report. Can I get a copy?

Stores often will not hand it over. Write down the manager's name and the date, and we can request it along with any video.

I was hurt in a fall at my apartment. Can I bring a claim against my landlord?

Yes, if the landlord knew or should have known about the problem, such as a broken stair, a missing handrail, or a burned-out light, and did not fix it.
