From First Contact to Resolution
The firm’s approach to resolving property injury cases involves several key steps:
1. Free Consultation
We start with a no-cost, confidential review of your case. Tell us what happened, and our experienced Santa Monica property injury lawyers will quickly determine if a property owner’s, manager’s, or building operator’s negligence caused your injury.
2. Evidence Collection
We handle everything: gathering maintenance records, repair requests, photos of the dangerous condition, medical bills, incident reports, and witness statements to build an ironclad case proving negligence and liability.
3. Negotiation
4. Litigation
If they refuse to offer a fair amount,our trial-tested property injury lawyers are fully prepared to file suit and fight for you in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Santa Monica Courthouse, 1725 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90401). We’ve taken on large property owners, management companies, and insurers — and won.
No upfront fees. No hidden costs. You only pay if we win your case.

We offer multilingual support and are ready to stand up for your rights in Santa Monica. Contact our Santa Monica unsafe home injury lawyers today and let us turn a responsible party’s negligence into the compensation you deserve. All unsafe home injuries we handle.
Common Causes
- Fire and electrical injuries — Santa Monica’s large stock of pre-1960s apartment buildings in the Pico and Ocean Park neighborhoods frequently has outdated wiring and electrical panels
- Carbon monoxide poisoning — aging furnaces and gas appliances in Santa Monica’s older rental units create CO exposure risks, particularly in basement and ground-floor apartments
- Toxic mold and water intrusion — proximity to the ocean and aging plumbing systems make mold growth common in Santa Monica apartments, especially in buildings near the beach
- Negligent security injuries — assaults in parking structures, lobbies, and common areas of Santa Monica apartment complexes where landlords failed to maintain lighting, locks, or security cameras
- Habitability violations — Santa Monica’s Rent Control Ordinance (SMMC Chapter 4.28) requires landlords to maintain safe conditions; violations are documented by the Santa Monica Rent Control Board
- Structural hazards — crumbling balconies, rotted staircases, and failing foundations in Santa Monica’s older apartment buildings, particularly in the Pico and Ocean Park neighborhoods

Injured in Santa Monica? Even High-Rent Properties Must Be Safe
Santa Monica landlords have the same legal obligations as any other — and we hold them to it.
Santa Monica’s rent-stabilized housing stock includes thousands of older apartment buildings where deferred maintenance is a documented problem. High rents don’t guarantee safe conditions — and when a Santa Monica landlord ignores a fire hazard, mold growth, a structural issue, or a security failure, tenants have the right to recover. The Brinton Firm represents Santa Monica residents in habitability and property injury cases, with no fee unless we win.
