Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common causes of preventable injuries in California — and they can happen anywhere: grocery stores, shopping malls, apartment complexes, parking lots, or sidewalks. These incidents are often caused by unsafe property conditions, such as wet floors, poor lighting, uneven pavement, or missing handrails.
At Djougourian Law Corporation, we help victims of slip and fall accidents in Glendale and surrounding areas — including Burbank, Pasadena, La Crescenta, and Atwater Village — recover compensation for their medical bills, pain, and losses.
Founded by Attorney Arthur Djougourian, a Los Angeles native and Pepperdine Law graduate, our firm is built on trial experience and client dedication. Arthur clerked for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office Consumer Protection Unit, where he helped hold corporations accountable for public harm. Only six months after graduating, he won a six-figure jury verdict against a national company. Today, he uses that same drive to fight for injured clients across Los Angeles County.
Slip and Fall Facts & Statistics — Glendale & California
Public data shows how serious falls are in our communities:
- According to the California Department of Public Health, falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injury among adults statewide, sending thousands to emergency rooms every year. (cdph.ca.gov)
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 3 million older Americans are treated in emergency departments each year for fall-related injuries, and more than 36,000 die annually from fall injuries.(cdc.gov)
- Within Los Angeles County, falls remain one of the top reasons for hospitalization among residents 65 and older, according to the County’s Injury & Violence Prevention Program. (publichealth.lacounty.gov)
- Workplace data from the California Department of Industrial Relations confirms that slips, trips, and falls caused 79 fatal occupational injuries in 2023. (dir.ca.gov)
These statistics prove that slips and falls aren’t “minor accidents” — they’re a statewide safety crisis that can leave victims facing years of recovery and financial strain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If the property owner is a government entity, you must file an administrative claim within six months.
What compensation can I recover?
You may be entitled to damages for:
– Medical expenses (past & future)
– Rehabilitation and therapy
– Lost wages or earning capacity
– Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
– Long-term disability or care costs
Do I need to prove fault?
Yes. We must show that the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you.
What if I’m partly at fault?
California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
Will my case go to trial?
Most slip and fall cases settle out of court, but we prepare every claim as if it will go to trial to ensure we’re ready for any outcome.
How to Protect Your Case After a Fall
