Accidental falls constitute one of the leading causes of unintentional injury in the United States, and Santa Clarita is no exception. Every day, individuals fall down and get hurt in our city. Many of those falls happen because of a hazardous property condition that someone should have fixed or warned the fall victim about.
Owners of residential, commercial, and public property in Santa Clarita have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to keep visitors on their premises safe. If you fell and got hurt on property you do not own, you may have the right to hold the property owner (or someone else) liable for your damages. The team at Kash Legal wants to help you explore your options.

What Is a Slip And Fall Case?
The term “slip and fall” can be a little misleading. Attorneys refer to any case involving an injury someone suffers in a fall on property they don’t own as a “slip and fall.” While named a “slip and fall”, the accident type actually encompasses a variety of premises liability incidents. For example, you may have a slip and fall case if you:
- Slipped on a wet indoor surface
- Tripped over loose, uneven, or cracked flooring or pavement
- Stepped into an hidden hole or depression
- Stumbled on uneven stairs or unmarked steps
- Lost your balance because of a loose, broken, or missing handrail
- Misstepped because of poor lighting
The most reliable way to find out if you have a slip and fall case is to contact the team at Kash Legal immediately after getting hurt in a fall on someone else’s property in Santa Clarita. We can help you figure out what happened and who might bear financial liability for your injuries and losses.
How We Can Help After a Santa Clarita Slip And Fall
California law affords you rights to compensation as the victim of a slip and fall. However, that doesn’t mean property owners and others responsible for causing your fall willingly pay you what they owe for your pain, expenses, and inconvenience. Most of the time, they will resist their financial obligations, and you will need the help of a skilled slip and fall attorney to secure payment for your damages.
Kash Legal is that kind of law firm. Our slip and fall lawyers have years of experience representing slip and fall victims throughout California. We have the resources, know-how, and skills to:
- Meet with you free-of-charge to talk about your fall and injuries, and whether you might have a slip and fall case
- Take quick action to notify the property owner and its insurer, if necessary, of your potential slip and fall claim
- Investigate your fall thoroughly to determine how it happened and what the property owner or someone else could and should have done to keep you safe
- Plan a course of action to achieve the most favorable financial outcome in your case
- Explain our recommendations and answer your questions in clear language you can understand
- Draft and file the paperwork to initiate lawsuits in court or claims against an owner’s liability insurance policy
- Represent you in all dealings with insurance providers, including negotiations over a potential settlement of your claim
- Appear in court on your behalf to argue your case to a judge and jury
- Collect the money owed to you as a result of our having achieved a favorable settlement, judgment, or jury decision
Our slip and fall lawyers at Kash Legal represent clients primarily on a contingent fee basis. We avoid charging clients upfront fees or hourly rates. Instead, we collect our fees from the financial recovery we achieve on our clients’ behalf. In other words, we don’t get paid unless we get you results.
Next Steps for Slip And Fall Victims
If you suffered injuries in a fall on someone else’s property in Santa Clarita, it may help you to take the following steps to preserve and protect your legal rights and financial interests.
See a Doctor
Get a check-up, even if your fall only caused you bumps and scrapes. Some fall injuries might not show symptoms immediately but could develop into life-threatening conditions if not treated. Trust a doctor, instead of yourself, to assess your medical condition. By seeking care, you will also generate valuable medical records that a lawyer can use to support your case.
Do Not Agree to an Informal Settlement
In many instances, the owner or operator of the property where you fell may offer to compensate you immediately, such as with a free meal at a restaurant or a free stay at a hotel. They may even offer cash or refer you to their insurance carrier. Be careful about entertaining any such offers. They will undoubtedly fall short of the amount you have the right to demand, but if you agree with them, you could sacrifice valuable rights. Leave it to a lawyer to negotiate compensation on your behalf.
