Tacoma Slip and Fall Lawyer – Honest Help After Premises Liability Injuries
Slip and fall accidents happen often in Tacoma—at the Tacoma Mall, grocery stores in University Place, restaurants on Pacific Avenue, apartment complexes, public sidewalks, parking lots, or workplaces.
Rainy South Sound weather, spills, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or neglected stairs lead to painful injuries: fractures, concussions, herniated discs, and more.
I fight for Tacoma injury victims on contingency—no recovery, no fee. My prior defense experience helps me dismantle lowball offers and build cases that win.
Immediate Steps After a Tacoma Slip and Fall
Protect your health and your legal rights from day one.
Seek medical attention right away
Even if injuries seem minor—adrenaline masks pain, and delays hurt your claim.
Report to property owner/manager
Report to mall security or property manager. Get an incident report in writing.
Document the hazard
Take photos of cracked sidewalks near downtown, wet entryways, or any dangerous conditions.
Get witness information
Collect names and contact details from anyone who saw the fall.
Don't give recorded statements
Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters without legal advice first.
Contact me promptly
Washington's 3-year statute of limitations means evidence disappears fast. Act now.
Common Tacoma Slip and Fall Hazards
- Spills in busy retail/grocery areas like Tacoma Mall
- Wet/icy parking lots and walkways
- Faulty stairs/handrails in apartments or public buildings
- Inadequate lighting in lots or hallways
- Debris or uneven pavement in commercial zones
Compensation You Can Pursue
Under Washington premises liability law, property owners must maintain safe conditions. If negligence caused your fall, you can seek:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost income and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Reduced quality of life
Same WA premises liability rules apply: 3-year statute of limitations and comparative negligence (you can recover even if partially at fault).

Common Questions
Can I recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Washington uses pure comparative negligence—your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages.
What if insurance denies the claim?
We prove negligence with photos, witness statements, maintenance records, and other evidence. Denials aren't the final word.
