A simple fall can cause devastating injuries — broken bones, head trauma, or even permanent disability. In North Hollywood, where foot traffic is heavy around shopping centers, restaurants, and public sidewalks, slip and fall accidents are common and often preventable.
At Djougourian Law Corporation, we represent victims of slip, trip, and fall accidents across North Hollywood and Los Angeles County. Our mission is to hold negligent property owners accountable and secure full compensation for your medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Attorney Arthur Djougourian, founder of DJ Law Corp, is a Pepperdine Law graduate and trial-tested attorney. He began his career at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office Consumer Protection Unit, where he prosecuted corporations that harmed consumers. Just six months after law school, he earned a six-figure jury verdict for an injured client against a national company.
Arthur is an active member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) and the CAALA Plaintiff Trial Academy, combining courtroom skill with compassionate client care.
Slip and Fall Accidents — What the Numbers Show
Falls are one of the leading causes of emergency injuries in California and Los Angeles County:
- The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reports that falls are the number one cause of non-fatal injuries among adults aged 45 and older, resulting in hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations annually. (cdph.ca.gov)
- The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirms that falls are the most common cause of emergency room visits for trauma patients countywide. (publichealth.lacounty.gov)
- According to the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD), Los Angeles County hospitals treat tens of thousands of fall-related injuries every year, many occurring in public spaces and private businesses.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adds that 1 in 5 falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or head trauma, especially among older adults. (cdc.gov)
These facts highlight why property owners in North Hollywood have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors and tenants.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
- Wet or slippery floors
- Spilled liquids or food debris
- Uneven sidewalks or damaged pavement
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
- Loose carpeting or flooring tiles
- Cluttered walkways or obstructed exits
- Unsafe stairs or missing handrails
- Lack of warning signs after cleaning or repairs
Property owners, managers, and businesses must correct or warn visitors of known hazards. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable under California Civil Code §1714, which establishes a duty of care for property maintenance.
Common Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall accidents can lead to long-lasting injuries, including:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or herniated discs
- Hip or knee injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Soft tissue damage or chronic pain
- Psychological trauma and loss of mobility
The California Department of Public Health reports that fall injuries cost the state billions annually in medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses.
