Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability in California is the liability that a landowner or one in possession and control of property has for incidents that occur on that property. Premises liability therefore subsumes slip and fall cases (incidents in which an entrant to the property has hurt himself or herself due to something that the property owner has done or has failed to do), as well as a range of other incidents.
Our Premises Liability Practice Area is dedicated to representing individuals who have been injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions. We understand the significant impact such injuries can have on victims and their families, and we are committed to holding property owners accountable for their negligence. Our goal is to secure fair compensation for our clients while promoting safer environments for the public.
Slip and fall liability in California falls under the broader umbrella of “premises liability”—that is, the liability that a landowner or one in possession and control of property has for incidents that occur on that property. Slip and fall cases refer to incidents in which an entrant to the property has hurt himself or herself due to something that the property owner has done or has failed to do.
We handle a wide range of premises liability cases, including:
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Incidents caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, or other hazards that result in slips, trips, and falls.
- Inadequate Security: Cases where lack of proper security measures leads to assaults, robberies, or other criminal acts.
- Defective Conditions: Injuries caused by unsafe structures, poor maintenance, or hazardous conditions on the property.
- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Representing victims of bites or attacks by dogs or other animals due to the owner’s failure to control or restrain the animal.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Cases involving drownings or injuries due to unsafe pool areas or lack of supervision.
- Fire and Building Code Violations: Injuries resulting from property owners' failure to comply with fire and safety regulations.
