Yorba Linda sits at the eastern edge of Orange County, where Imperial Highway (SR-90), Yorba Linda Boulevard, Savi Ranch Parkway, Esperanza Road, Lakeview Avenue and Weir Canyon Road carry daily commuter traffic toward the 91, 57 and 55 freeways. Hillside neighborhoods, trails, Yorba Regional Park, shopping centers and the Yorba Linda Town Center mean people are on foot, on bikes and in cars across the city. A fall in a store, restaurant, apartment complex, HOA common area or parking lot can cause serious injuries such as broken bones, head injuries and back injuries.

When a Property Owner May Be Responsible

In California, property owners and businesses must use reasonable care to keep their property safe (Civil Code §1714). A slip and fall claim generally involves showing that a dangerous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that it caused your injury. Common hazards include wet floors, spills, uneven walkways, broken stairs, poor lighting, loose handrails, icy or slick surfaces and cluttered aisles. Read our guide on slip and fall claims in Orange County.

Common Places Slip and Falls Happen in Yorba Linda

• Grocery stores, restaurants and shops in shopping centers such as Savi Ranch and the Town Center
• Parking lots and sidewalks with cracks, potholes or poor lighting
• Apartment and HOA common areas, stairs, pools and walkways
• Parks, trails and public walkways (claims involving a city or other public entity have a short six-month deadline)
• Private homes and rental properties with unsafe stairs or railings

What to Do After a Fall in Yorba Linda

1. Get medical care right away, even if you think you are okay.
2. Report the fall to the store, manager or property owner and ask for a written incident report.
3. Photograph the hazard, your shoes, the area and your injuries before anything is cleaned up or repaired.
4. Get witness names and ask whether security cameras cover the spot. Video is often erased within days.
5. Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before getting advice.

What Your Claim May Include

Depending on your case, compensation can include medical bills, future care, lost income, pain and suffering and other losses. California uses comparative negligence, so being partly at fault can reduce but does not automatically bar a claim. Every case is different and no result can be guaranteed.

Deadlines

Most injury lawsuits in California must be filed within two years (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a public entity generally must be presented within six months (Government Code §911.2). See our statute of limitations guide.
