Slip and fall accidents can change your life in seconds. In Beverly Hills, where foot traffic is constant and high-end properties strive for polish, these accidents still happen often, and sometimes because someone cut corners on safety.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 million people are hospitalized each year due to fall injuries, with older adults and high-traffic public venues being most at risk.
At Crown & Stone Law. P.C., we respond fast and treat your injury seriously, even when others don’t. Just ask our clients:
“I called him almost at 10 pm and he answered my call and helped me get some answers in regards to my motorcycle accident.” — Mario R.
Even when there’s no visible hazard or big headline, we know how to prove the truth. We’ve secured six- and seven-figure results in cases where the defense tried to minimize responsibility. That’s what happens when you refuse to settle for excuses.
“He is not just a great lawyer but has a good heart and always hears you. He has empathy for me all along the process.” — John C.
If you fell on a slick restaurant floor off Rodeo Drive, tripped on a poorly maintained walkway near Roxbury Park, or got hurt at a hotel or stadium, you don’t have to handle this alone. You need a lawyer who listens, acts quickly, and fights until you’re made whole.
What to Do After a Slip and Fall in Beverly Hills
Each step you take after the fall matters, because you’re far from alone, and your injury deserves to be taken seriously. Here’s what matters most:
1. Report the Accident Immediately
Tell the property owner, manager, or security staff what happened. Ask them to document it, and request a copy if possible. This creates a paper trail.
2. Take Photos and Video
Document the exact spot where you fell. Capture any hazards like wet floors, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or missing warning signs. If your clothes or shoes were damaged or show signs of impact, take pictures of those too.
3. Get Witness Info
If anyone saw the fall, ask for their name and contact details. Independent witnesses can help prove that negligence, not clumsiness, caused the accident.
4. Seek Medical Attention
Even if you feel okay, injuries like head trauma or internal bruising can show up later. Medical records also link your injuries to the fall, which strengthens your claim.
5. Avoid Speaking to Insurance or Property Representatives
Don’t give recorded statements or accept early settlement offers without legal advice. These can be used to limit or deny your claim later.
6. Contact a Beverly Hills Slip and Fall Lawyer
Talking to an attorney early helps preserve evidence and protects your rights. We’ll explain your options and start building your case from day one.
How We Help Slip and Fall Victims in Beverly Hills
We know how quickly a slip and fall can turn into months of pain, medical bills, and lost work. According to the National Council on Aging, falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries in seniors, costing the healthcare system $80 billion annually.
Our job is to make sure you’re not left dealing with that burden alone, or settling for less than what’s fair.
What We Do for You
- Free Consultation: We listen to your story and explain your options clearly, with no pressure.
- Evidence Collection: We gather photos, security footage, incident reports, and witness statements before they disappear.
- Medical Coordination: We help document your injuries with trusted doctors and specialists who understand slip and fall trauma.
- Property Analysis: We investigate the hazard, regardless of if it’s a broken tile at a Beverly Hills boutique or a slippery floor in a Rodeo Drive restaurant.
- Insurance Negotiation: We deal with property owners and insurers who often claim your fall was “just an accident.” We know how to prove it wasn’t.
When Insurers Push Back, We Push Harder
Insurers often dismiss fall injuries as minor, but the truth is more serious. According to OSHA, slips and falls account for 15% of all accidental deaths, second only to motor vehicle crashes. So when they try to minimize your claim, we bring the data, professionals, and results that prove your injury is real and valuable.
We’ve secured:
- $965,000 for a client injured in a collision where the insurer offered only $45,000 at first.
- $500,000 for a client who fell near a stadium concession stand, after they said he waived his right to sue.
We dig in, prove the truth, and fight until you get what’s fair.
Common Slip and Fall Injuries and Why They Matter
Slip and fall injuries often lead to expensive treatment, lost work, and long-term pain, which is exactly what insurers try to downplay.
Injuries We Commonly See
- Head Injuries & Concussions: Even a short fall can cause a traumatic brain injury, especially when hitting a hard floor or curb.
- Broken Bones: Wrists, ankles, hips, and elbows are especially vulnerable when trying to break a fall.
- Back and Spinal Injuries: Herniated discs and nerve compression are painful and may require long-term treatment or surgery.
- Soft Tissue Damage: Torn ligaments, bruises, and strains might seem minor, but they can lead to lasting pain and restricted movement.
Why It Matters
These injuries often lead to:
- Expensive medical care
- Lost work or inability to return to your job
- Long-term pain and emotional stress
When insurers downplay the impact, we bring in the right professionals to show how serious your injuries are and what they’re truly worth.
Can I Sue After a Slip and Fall in Beverly Hills?
Yes, if the property owner was negligent. Premises liability exists for a reason. In 2021, unintentional falls led to over 38,000 deaths nationwide, according to the CDC. That’s why California law requires property owners to maintain safe spaces or be held responsible when they don’t.
Common Causes of Lawsuits
- Wet floors with no warning signs
- Cracked or uneven sidewalks
- Loose carpets or rugs
- Broken stair rails
- Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
When You May Have a Case
You may be able to sue if:
- The hazard existed long enough that someone should have fixed it
- The property owner knew, or should have known, about the danger
- You suffered real harm from the fall
If you’re unsure whether you can sue, we’ll review your case for free and tell you the truth, no pressure, just clear answers.
How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Lawsuit in California?
In most cases, you have two years. These cases are time-sensitive, and the longer you wait, the harder it can be to prove what really happened. Evidence fades fast, and so does your legal window.
Shorter Deadlines May Apply
Some situations have different rules:
- Government Property: If you slipped on city-owned property, like a Beverly Hills park or sidewalk, you must file a government claim within 6 months.
- Minor Victims: If the injured person is a minor, the clock usually starts when they turn 18.
Why Timing Matters
Waiting too long can weaken your case. Evidence may disappear. Witnesses can forget details. And insurance companies are less likely to take your claim seriously.
The sooner you contact a slip and fall lawyer, the better your chances. We’ll preserve evidence, handle all deadlines, and keep your case on track, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything important.
How We Help Beverly Hills Clients After a Fall
We move quickly because accidents in busy areas like Rodeo Drive or the Beverly Center are common. According to the City of Los Angeles, most collisions involving pedestrians happen on major boulevards during midday hours, which are prime times for shopping, dining, and errands in Beverly Hills.
Step 1: We Listen and Explain
You start with a free consultation. We’ll listen to your story, answer your questions, and explain your options in plain English. You’ll never be pressured or rushed.
Step 2: We Investigate the Fall
We gather every piece of evidence:
- Surveillance footage, incident reports, and witness statements
- Property maintenance records and photos of the scene
- Medical documentation and qualified opinions
We move quickly, especially if your fall happened in a high-traffic Beverly Hills location like Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Center, or a hotel lobby.
Step 3: We Deal With the Insurance Company
You don’t have to speak to adjusters or fill out confusing paperwork. We handle all communication with the insurance company, and we don’t back down from low offers.
Step 4: We Build a Case That Gets Results
We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That pressure often leads to better settlements. But if needed, we’re ready to go to court.
Throughout the process, we keep you updated. You’ll always know where your case stands and what comes next.
Where We Serve
We help slip and fall victims across Beverly Hills and surrounding neighborhoods. These include some of the most heavily trafficked zones in the county. Tourism data shows Beverly Hills attracts more than 7.5 million visitors annually, which means more foot traffic, and more chances for unsafe conditions to go unnoticed until it’s too late.
We serve clients throughout:
- The Flats
- Trousdale Estates
- Golden Triangle
- Beverly Hills Gateway
- Beverly Park
- Benedict Canyon
- Holmby Hills
- Roxbury Park area
- South Beverly Drive District
- 90210, 90211, and 90212 zip codes
If you slipped outside a Rodeo Drive boutique or near the Beverly Center, we understand the unique safety and property conditions that shape these cases in Beverly Hills.
What If the Property Owner Blames You?
It’s a common tactic, but don’t let it stop you. In California, fall-related injuries are frequent in cities like Los Angeles, especially in areas with uneven sidewalks and dense foot traffic. However, the numbers are on your side: these accidents are often preventable, and not your fault.
They might claim:
- You weren’t paying attention
- The hazard was “obvious”
- You were wearing the wrong shoes
- You shouldn’t have been in that area
We’ve handled all of these arguments and beaten them.
Our job is to show that the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the danger. Maybe they ignored repeated complaints. Maybe they didn’t post warning signs or fix a broken step. Maybe they rushed to clean up after your fall, hoping no one would notice.
Can I Still Sue If I Slipped in a Store or Hotel?
Yes. Stores, hotels, and other businesses have a duty to keep their premises safe for guests. If they fail and you get hurt, they can be held responsible.
That includes:
- Grocery stores with spills left unattended
- Hotel lobbies with wet marble floors and no warning signs
- Uneven carpeting, broken tiles, or dim lighting in stairwells
- Crowded event spaces with tripping hazards
Even large companies with powerful legal teams don’t get a free pass. We’ve successfully gone up against major stadiums, retail chains, and commercial landlords. If a store, restaurant, or hotel caused your injury, you still have legal options. We can help you use them.
What Compensation Can I Recover After a Slip and Fall?
You may be able to recover money for more than just your medical bills. California law allows injured victims to pursue full compensation for all the ways the fall disrupted your life.
This can include:
- Emergency room visits and ongoing medical care
- Physical therapy, surgery, or assistive devices
- Lost wages and future loss of earnings
- Pain and suffering, both physical and emotional
- Loss of enjoyment if your injury limits daily activities
According to OSHA and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 18% of all workplace fatalities in California involve slips, trips, or falls. When these injuries happen in a business or commercial setting, the financial toll isn’t limited to ER bills. It includes rehab, lost income, and the pain of being unable to enjoy your life like you did before.
If the property owner or manager was clearly negligent, you may also be eligible for punitive damages. In one of our cases, a client slipped and fell twice in the same dangerous area. The property owner denied responsibility, but we refused to back down and secured a settlement of nearly $500,000.
A free consultation can help you understand what your case might be worth.
Our Results
We don’t take excuses from insurance companies. When businesses try to dodge accountability or lowball our clients, we push back hard.
- A client fell twice near a stadium concession area. The venue claimed he waived his right to sue by being a season ticket holder. We fought that claim and secured $500,000 just before trial.
- In a separate case, our client was rear-ended in what the insurance company called a “minor” accident. We proved the real injuries and won $200,000 despite the insurer’s denial.
- We’ve secured multi-million dollar outcomes, including $10 million for a brain injury and $5.1 million for a pedestrian hit by a car.
Results like these show what happens when you have a lawyer who doesn’t settle for less.
