Target is one of the largest retail chains in the United States, attracting thousands of shoppers daily across California.

At Hillstone Law, we help victims of Target slip-and-fall accidents recover the compensation they deserve.

Liability in Target Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Under California premises liability law, Target and its management have a legal duty to maintain a safe environment for shoppers. Liability may apply if:

• Spills or hazards were left unattended for an unreasonable amount of time
