Holding Property Owners Accountable in Glendale and Los Angeles County
When a property owner fails to maintain a safe premises, whether it is a wet floor, broken pavement, poor lighting, or an unmarked hazard, AM Legal steps in.
Glendale’s mix of older commercial buildings, busy retail corridors on Brand Boulevard and Glendale Avenue, and high-traffic apartment complexes creates frequent slip and fall hazards. Slip and fall cases are often more complex than they appear. Property owners and their insurance companies aggressively dispute liability, claiming the hazard was obvious or that you were not paying attention. We know how to counter these arguments with evidence, witness testimony, and expert analysis.
What to Do

Notify the property owner or manager before you leave. Request a written incident report and get a copy. This creates an official record and puts the property owner on notice.
Document the Hazard
Photograph the exact condition that caused your fall, such as wet floor, broken tile, uneven pavement, missing handrail, poor lighting. Do this before the property owner has a chance to fix it. Video is even better.
Get Witness Information
Anyone who saw the fall or who can testify about the ongoing nature of the hazard is a valuable witness. Get names and phone numbers before you leave.
Seek Medical Attention the Same Day
Hip fractures, spinal injuries, and head trauma are common in slip and fall accidents. A same-day medical visit documents your injuries and connects them to the incident while ensuring you receive the appropriate care.
