Premises Liability
Property owners are responsible for the safety of those on their land. When they fall short, we hold them accountable. Premises liability law covers a broad range of accidents and injuries that occur on someone else's property. If you have been hurt due to an unsafe or poorly maintained condition, our attorneys are here to help you pursue justice.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. California law requires property owners to use reasonable care in maintaining their property and warning visitors of known hazards.
Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Swimming Pool Accidents
Inadequate fencing, lack of supervision, and slippery pool decks can lead to drownings and serious injuries. Property owners have heightened duties when maintaining pools accessible to the public or guests.
Negligent Security
If you were assaulted or harmed on a property that failed to provide adequate security, such as broken lighting, non-functioning locks, or insufficient security personnel, the property owner may be liable for your injuries.
Elevator & Escalator Accidents
Mechanical failures, improper maintenance, and design defects in elevators and escalators can cause severe injuries. Building owners and maintenance contractors may both bear responsibility.
Construction Site Hazards
Open excavations, falling debris, exposed wiring, and unmarked hazards on or near active construction sites create dangers for visitors, passersby, and workers alike.
Retail Store Hazards
Beyond slip and fall scenarios, product displays, falling shelves, and inadequate crowd management during sales events can create serious injury risks for shoppers.
The Duty of Care in California
In California, property owners owe a general duty of care to all lawful visitors, including customers, guests, and invitees. For trespassers, a more limited duty may apply. The key question in any premises liability case is whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and took reasonable steps to address it.
