A slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s property can cause serious injuries that change your life in an instant. Broken bones, head trauma, and spinal injuries are common, and property owners are legally responsible when negligent maintenance causes your fall. Phoong Law holds them accountable.

Tell the property owner, store manager, or building management what happened. Ask them to create a written incident report and get a copy. This official record is critical evidence for your claim.
Photograph the exact condition that caused your fall: wet floors, torn carpet, uneven pavement, poor lighting, missing handrails. Property owners often fix hazards quickly after someone is hurt, so capture the evidence before it disappears.
Even if your injuries seem manageable, see a doctor within 24 hours. Hip fractures, concussions, and disc injuries from falls frequently worsen over time. A medical record linking your injuries to the fall is essential.
Property owners and their insurers will move quickly to minimize their liability. Before giving any statement, call us at 866-GOT-PAIN. We investigate the property, identify code violations, and build your case.
Slip and fall accidents happen every day across Sacramento, in grocery stores, shopping centers, parking lots, office buildings, restaurants, and on public sidewalks. Property owners in California have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of known hazards. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured, they are liable for the resulting damages. Sacramento’s aging infrastructure, rainy winters, and rapid commercial development create conditions where hazardous surfaces, poor drainage, and deferred maintenance lead to preventable injuries. Phoong Law has extensive experience proving premises liability and holding negligent property owners accountable.
Slip and fall injuries can be just as serious as car accident injuries, but insurance companies frequently try to downplay them. California premises liability law entitles you to full compensation for all harm caused by the property owner’s negligence.
Hip replacements, spinal surgery, wrist fracture repair, concussion treatment, and months of physical therapy. Fall injuries often require multiple procedures and extended recovery.
Time away from work, reduced hours during recovery, and any permanent impact on your ability to perform your job are recoverable under California law.
Ongoing pain, fear of falling again, loss of mobility, anxiety, and depression are compensable. These damages often represent a significant portion of the total recovery.
If your injuries require home modifications like grab bars, ramps, or in-home care assistance, those costs are part of your compensable damages.
Falls happen in many different settings, and each location involves unique liability issues. Our attorneys have handled premises liability cases across every type of Sacramento property.
Wet floors from spills, produce, or mopping without warning signs. Cluttered aisles and uneven floor mats. Sacramento stores along Arden Fair, Sunrise Mall, and neighborhood markets are frequent locations.
Poorly maintained lobbies, broken stairwell lighting, loose carpet, and wet entryways. Commercial landlords and property management companies owe a duty of care to every person who enters the building.
Cracked asphalt, oil slicks, unmarked curbs, and poor lighting in Sacramento parking lots and garages create dangerous tripping and slipping hazards, especially after rain.
Spilled drinks, greasy kitchen floors extending into dining areas, and uneven outdoor patios. Sacramento’s dining scene in midtown and East Sacramento sees frequent premises liability claims.
Tree root damage, cracked concrete, and uneven surfaces on Sacramento sidewalks cause serious trip and fall injuries. Government entities may be liable, but strict filing deadlines apply.
Wet pool decks, unmarked depth changes, and slippery surfaces at Sacramento apartment complexes, gyms, and community centers. Property owners must maintain safe conditions around water features.
Premises liability cases require proving the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. We know how to gather maintenance records, surveillance footage, and code violation histories to build an airtight case.

When you retain Phoong Law, we launch a full investigation of the property, identify all responsible parties, document your injuries, and build a case designed to recover every dollar you are owed. Here is how the process works.
We gather surveillance footage, maintenance logs, inspection records, and code violation histories. If the property owner knew about the hazard, or if the hazard existed long enough that they should have known, they are liable.
The absence of a warning sign strengthens your case. Property owners are required to either fix hazards promptly or warn visitors. Failing to do either is clear negligence under California law.
Yes. Cities and counties are responsible for maintaining public walkways. However, government claims have strict deadlines, often just six months. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
Property owners frequently try to blame the victim. California’s comparative negligence law means even if you share some fault, you can still recover a percentage of your damages. We fight to minimize any fault assigned to you.
Two years for private property claims. For falls on government property, you may have as little as six months to file an administrative claim. Acting quickly is critical.
No. Your initial consultation is free, and we work on contingency. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
