Slip & Fall Statistics for Burbank and Los Angeles County (Government Sources Only)

Slip and fall accidents are far more serious and widespread than most people think. The following statistics come exclusively from government agencies, providing reliable insight into the dangers faced by Burbank residents.

✔ Falls Are a Leading Cause of Injury in Los Angeles County

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reports that:

  • Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related hospitalizations among adults 65+.
  • Falls consistently remain one of the top causes of non-fatal emergency visits, across all ages.

✔ Falls Cause Millions of Emergency Room Visits Nationwide

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • Over 3 million people in the U.S. are treated in emergency departments every year for fall-related injuries.
  • More than 800,000 people are hospitalized each year due to falls — often because of head injuries or hip fractures.

✔ Falls Are a Major Cause of Workplace Injuries in California

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows:

✔ Older Adults Are Especially Vulnerable in Los Angeles County

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) highlights that:

  • Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths among adults aged 65 and older in California.
  • California sees tens of thousands of emergency visits per year related to falls in older adults.

✔ Urban Areas (Like Burbank) Have Higher Slip & Fall Exposure

Although Burbank does not publish its own standalone slip and fall statistical reports, the city falls within Los Angeles County, where:

  • Urban infrastructure
  • High foot traffic
  • Multi-level commercial shopping centers
  • Frequent pedestrian activity

All contribute to increased fall risks.

These publicly verified statistics make one thing clear: slip and fall injuries represent a major public health issue, and victims deserve strong legal representation when their injury results from someone else’s negligence.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents in Burbank

Slip and fall incidents often happen because property owners or managers fail to keep their premises safe. Common causes we see throughout Burbank include:

Property Hazards:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Recently mopped surfaces with no warning signs
  • Liquid spills in grocery stores or retail centers
  • Rainwater or debris tracked indoors at building entrances

Structural Defects:

  • Broken or missing handrails
  • Uneven flooring, loose tiles, raised carpeting
  • Cracked sidewalks or potholes
  • Unstable stairs or poorly maintained steps

Poor Lighting:

  • Dark stairwells
  • Dimly lit hallways
  • Poorly illuminated parking lots

Negligent Maintenance:

  • Failure to fix known hazards
  • Delayed repairs
  • Lack of routine inspections

Commercial Property Risks:

  • Unsafe store layouts
  • Cluttered aisles
  • Unsecured merchandise]
  • Spilled food or liquids in restaurants

In many cases, businesses or landlords were aware of these hazards but did not address them quickly enough — making them responsible under California premises liability law.

What To Do Immediately After a Slip & Fall Accident

Your actions after a fall can significantly affect your ability to recover compensation. Follow these steps:

1. Seek Medical Care Immediately

Even minor falls can cause internal injuries, concussions, or fractures. Medical records also help connect your injuries to the fall.

2. Report the Incident

Whether at a store, apartment complex, or office building — tell the manager, property owner, or employee and request an incident report.

3. Document the Hazard

Take photos of:

  • The exact area where you fell
  • The hazard (wet floor, broken step, missing handrail)
  • Lighting conditions
  • Any visible injuries

4. Get Witness Information

Names, numbers, and statements can be crucial in proving negligence.

5. Preserve Your Clothing & Shoes

They may become evidence if the defense argues improper footwear.

6. Do NOT Give a Statement to Insurance

Insurance companies try to minimize your claim by twisting your words.

7. Contact a Burbank Slip & Fall Lawyer Immediately

Evidence can disappear within hours — cameras overwrite themselves, spills get cleaned, and hazards are repaired.
