Falls can occur anywhere, but certain locations and conditions significantly increase the risk. Our Los Angeles injury specialists regularly treat patients injured in various settings:
Grocery stores, department stores, and shopping centers see frequent accidents from wet floors, spilled products, or cluttered aisles. These falls often result in hip fractures, lower back injuries, and wrist damage from trying to break the fall.
Slick tile floors, grease in kitchens, and inadequate cleaning protocols create dangerous conditions. Victims may suffer concussions, tailbone injuries, and severe bruising requiring immediate medical intervention.
Cracked pavement, potholes, inadequate maintenance, and poor drainage lead to unexpected trips. These outdoor falls frequently cause ankle fractures, knee trauma, and facial injuries.
Construction sites, warehouses, offices, and factories all present fall hazards. Workplace falls may involve workers' compensation claims and require specialized documentation and treatment protocols.
Many people underestimate their injuries after a slip and fall, assuming they're just "shaken up." However, delaying medical attention can worsen your condition and complicate your recovery. Watch for these important warning signs:
Physical Symptoms to Monitor:
• Sharp or persistent pain in your back, neck, or joints
• Swelling, bruising, or discoloration that worsens
• Difficulty moving or putting weight on injured areas
• Stiffness that develops over the following days
• Radiating pain down your arms or legs
• Limited range of motion in shoulders, hips, or knees
Neurological symtoms requiring urgent care:
• Persistent headaches or pressure in your head
• Dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems
• Nausea or vomiting following the fall
• Vision changes or sensitivity to light
• Confusion, memory gaps, or difficulty concentrating
• Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your limbs
Never dismiss symptoms as "minor" or wait to see if they improve on their own. Our Los Angeles clinics offer same-day appointments for fall victims to ensure you receive timely care that promotes healing and protects your legal rights.
Accurate assessment is the foundation of effective treatment. Unlike urgent care facilities that may rush through examinations, our physicians dedicate time to understanding the complete scope of your injuries.
Evaluation includes:
• Detailed consultation about how the fall occurred and your immediate symptoms
• Comprehensive physical examination of all potentially affected body regions
• Orthopedic testing to assess joint stability and function
• Neurological screening to detect nerve damage or head injury
• Advanced imaging when necessary—X-rays for fractures, MRI for soft tissue injuries, CT scans for complex trauma
• Assessment of your pain levels, mobility restrictions, and functional limitations
• Development of a personalized treatment strategy
This thorough process typically takes 45-60 minutes during your initial visit. We don't just treat the obvious injuries; we look for hidden damage that could cause problems down the road. This comprehensive approach also creates the detailed medical record essential for personal injury claims.
Recovery timelines vary based on injury severity. Minor sprains may resolve in 2-4 weeks, while fractures, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries may require 3-6 months or longer. Our physicians adjust your treatment plan as you progress.
We provide guidance on home care strategies such as appropriate rest versus gentle movement, ice and heat therapy, ergonomic adjustments, and gradual return to activities.
Once recovered, targeted strengthening exercises, balance training, and awareness of environmental hazards help prevent future accidents. We provide personalized recommendations based on your lifestyle and risk factors.
Your care is led by board-certified physicians specializing in pain management, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. Each doctor brings years of experience treating slip and fall victims and understanding the intersection of medical care and personal injury law.

The staff is very friendly and professional. I have never had to wait passed my scheduled appointment time. Doctors are not in a hurry. They have helped tremendously with my pain. Very pleased with they service I am receiving.
From the moment you walk in the office the staff is so kind and welcoming to your needs with insurance being met through phone calls if needed, which at one point one of the girls were on the phone for 30 minutes getting my insurance figured out for me, talk about patience!
As a Kaiser patient being referred out this was a great appointment. Dr listened regarding my pain and not trying to push any injections for relief. Confident of my plan for pain management and 100% recommend this office. The ladies also are very welcoming ☺️
I have been going there for almost 2 years and always had a good and positive experience. I would highly recommendthis office if you are suffering from back pain.
I’m usually afraid of injections, but the doctor was extremely skilled and gentle. I didn’t feel any pain at all, and he was very patient throughout the process.
Took my mom over there for a steroid injection of her knee, check in 10 minutes ahead and they call her in exactly on time. The whole process was very efficient, no small talk and just everybody being professional. Mom's very happy.

I’ve been coming here for over a year and have always been met with the very friendly staff and doctors, it’s a little out of my way distance-wise but the staff as I mentioned early makes it all worthwhile!
After a fall, check for serious injuries, stop any bleeding, and avoid moving if you suspect a fracture or head injury. Apply ice to bruises or swelling and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Some injuries, like muscle strains or internal injuries, may take time to show symptoms. You should still see a doctor promptly if pain, swelling, or limited mobility develops.
Treatment depends on your injury and may include physical therapy, medications, bracing, or minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is to restore function and reduce pain safely.
Recovery time varies by injury severity and job demands. We provide guidance on activity limitations and gradually clear patients to return to work safely.
You aren’t required to have a lawyer, but legal representation can help protect your rights, especially for serious injuries or disputes with insurance companies.
It’s best to be evaluated the same day or within 24 hours of the fall, even if injuries seem minor. Early assessment helps prevent complications and documents your injury for insurance or legal purposes.
Our clinic uses a combination of physical exams, patient history, imaging tests (like X-rays or MRI), and diagnostic tools to identify the full extent of your injuries.
Most slip and fall injuries do not require surgery. Surgery is only recommended if conservative treatments are insufficient or if there are severe fractures or internal injuries.
Fault disputes don’t affect your right to receive medical care. Documenting your injuries and circumstances with medical records and photos strengthens your case, regardless of fault claims.
We provide detailed medical records, injury assessments, and treatment documentation to support your insurance or legal claims. Our team can coordinate with your attorney if needed.
Four fully-equipped clinics providing complete slip and fall injury care. Same-day appointments available.
