Costa Mesa Slip and Fall Lawyer FAQs
In California, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If your claim is against a government entity (such as the City of Costa Mesa), you must file a government claim within six months of the incident. Delaying could result in losing your right to seek compensation, so speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Under California Civil Code § 1714(a), property owners, landlords, tenants, and even property managers have a duty of care to maintain safe premises. If your fall was caused by hazards like wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting, or clutter, the responsible party could be held liable for your injuries. Liability is determined by proving negligence—that is, the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it.
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages, including:
Medical bills (current and future)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Rehabilitation costs
In rare cases involving gross negligence, punitive damages may also apply. An experienced attorney can help calculate the full value of your claim and fight for fair compensation.
