Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on property such as wet floors, broken stairs, or inadequate lighting. If the property owner, manager, or occupant was negligent in maintaining safe conditions and that negligence caused your injury, you may have a claim.
Generally the property owner or occupier who controls the premises is responsible for maintaining safe conditions. In some cases, tenants, managers, or maintenance contractors may share fault.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages depending on the circumstances and evidence.
Liability is shown by proving duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, supported by evidence like photos, surveillance video, and witness testimony.
While some minor claims can be handled without an attorney, many cases benefit from legal guidance to navigate insurer negotiations and potential litigation.
California has a statute of limitations that varies by case, so it is important to consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.
Timeline depends on liability, damages, and court schedules. Some cases settle quickly, others may take months to years.
