Filing a claim in Los Angeles
Confirm the deadline and the fault rule
California uses pure comparative negligence, so recovery is reduced by your fault percentage but never eliminated by it.
Preserve the evidence
Send written preservation requests for surveillance footage, incident reports and vehicle data before they are overwritten on the usual retention schedule.
Build the damages file
Medical records, wage verification and repair estimates. Run the slip & fall claim calculator above once you have real documents rather than estimates.
