Vaheh Manoukian, Esq.
Founder & Lead Personal Injury Attorney
Vaheh Manoukian is a Woodland Hills premises liability attorney who has built his practice helping slip and fall victims across the San Fernando Valley put their lives back together. He understands that a severe fall rarely ends at the scene. It follows you into orthopedic doctor’s offices, painful physical therapy, lost paychecks, and frustrating phone calls from commercial insurance adjusters trained to blame you for the accident. His focus is simple: prove the property owner’s negligence and recover the full compensation for what the injury took from you.
He founded Manoukian Law Firm because he saw too many victims pressured into fast, inadequate settlements before they even knew the long-term extent of their injuries. From grocery store spills to dangerous apartment complex stairwells, he handles every complex slip and fall case personally, keeps clients informed at each step, and refuses to let corporate property owners sweep their negligence under the rug.

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents may seem minor at first glance, but they can result in serious, life-altering injuries. These accidents can happen anywhere—on a wet floor at a grocery store, on an uneven sidewalk, or due to poor lighting in a parking lot. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions, and when they fail to do so, innocent people get hurt. At Manoukian Law Firm, our experienced slip and fall lawyers represent victims in Woodland Hills, Chatsworth, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, and throughout the greater Los Angeles area. With extensive experience handling complex premises liability cases—including injuries at hotels, retail stores, Airbnbs, and apartment complexes—our team understands the challenges victims face and works tirelessly to pursue fair compensation for their injuries.Understanding Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents typically occur when a person loses their footing due to slippery or hazardous surfaces, while trip and fall accidents happen when an obstacle or uneven surface causes a person to stumble. Common causes include:- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, roof leaks, or recently mopped surfaces without proper warning signs can cause dangerous slips.
- Cluttered Walkways: Debris, electrical cords, or other obstacles in walkways can easily cause people to trip.
- Uneven or Damaged Flooring: Broken tiles, loose or bunched carpeting, and uneven pavement can lead to severe trips and falls.
- Weather-Related Hazards: Rainwater or mud tracked into a building can create dangerously slippery conditions that property owners and management are obligated to address.
- Poor Lighting: Dim or improperly maintained lighting in stairwells or parking structures can make hazards difficult to see, drastically increasing the risk of an accident.
Common Injuries in Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall Accidents
While some falls result in minor bumps and bruises, others can have severe, life-changing consequences. We help clients recover from injuries such as:- Fractures and Broken Bones: Particularly in the wrists, arms, hips, and ankles when victims attempt to brace their fall.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Head injuries caused by striking the ground or nearby fixtures can lead to long-term cognitive and physical impairments.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine and herniated discs can result in chronic pain, nerve damage, or even paralysis.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Severe sprains, strains, and torn ligaments (like ACL/MCL tears) can cause significant pain and require surgery.
Who Is Liable in a Slip and Fall or Trip and Fall Accident?
Property owners, landlords, and commercial managers have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions on their premises. When they fail to address hazards or provide adequate warnings, they may be held liable for injuries that occur. Determining liability often depends on:- The Owner’s Negligence: Did the property owner or staff know about the hazard and fail to fix it in a reasonable amount of time? Was the hazard something they should have known about through regular safety inspections?
- The Condition of the Property: Was the property poorly maintained? Did the hazard exist for an extended period of time without being addressed?
- The Victim’s Role: Property owners will often try to shift blame to the victim, claiming they were distracted or ignoring warning signs. We fight back against these defensive tactics.
Compensation for Slip and Fall / Trip and Fall Victims
If you’ve been injured on someone else’s unsafe property, you may be entitled to compensation for:- Medical Expenses: Current and future costs for emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and other treatments.
- Long-Term Care Costs: Severe injuries may require ongoing home care or assistive devices.
- Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, we’ll fight for compensation for your lost income and diminished future earning capacity.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Transportation to medical appointments and other injury-related costs.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the significant physical pain and emotional distress caused by your fall.
How Manoukian Law Firm, P.C. Can Help

- Proving Liability: Using evidence and legal expertise, we’ll demonstrate how the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
- Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Commercial insurers often attempt to minimize payouts. We handle all communications and negotiations to seek a fair settlement.
- Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and present a compelling argument before a jury.

- Report the Accident: Notify the property owner, store manager, or landlord immediately and ensure an official incident report is created. Ask for a copy.
- Take Photos: Photograph the exact hazard that caused your fall (spill, broken tile, etc.), as well as the surrounding area and your visible injuries.
- Gather Information: Collect contact information for any witnesses who saw you fall or noticed the hazard.
