Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident in Davis?
Slip and fall injuries are more common around Davis than most people realize — especially with the heavy tourism traffic near Turner Falls, busy sidewalks downtown, and high foot traffic around Broadway businesses. If unsafe conditions caused your fall, Aldridge Teasdale is here to help you get answers, protect your rights, and pursue full compensation for your injuries.
Slip and Falls Are Serious — and Often Preventable
Many falls happen because someone failed to keep their property safe. We represent victims suffering from injuries such as:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Back, neck, and spinal injuries
- Head injuries and concussions
- Shoulder, knee, and hip damage
- Long-term mobility issues
Even a “simple” fall can lead to months of pain, missed work, and medical bills — and property owners must be held responsible when they fail to fix hazards.

We handle slip and fall cases throughout Davis and the surrounding Arbuckle region, including injuries that occur at:
