Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on property, such as wet floors, broken stairs, or structural hazards.

Premises liability is a law area that covers injuries resulting from unsafe property conditions. It includes things like wet floors, broken stairs, and inadequate security.
Liability can sit with property owners, managers, tenants, maintenance contractors, and other parties responsible for safety.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, plus future care costs in some cases.
California has deadlines called statutes of limitations. Generally, you must file a claim within two years of the injury, with some exceptions.
Bring photos, police reports, medical records, and any witness information you have.
While you can handle some matters yourself, a premises liability attorney helps navigate insurance issues and liability questions.
Fault is determined by evidence of the property owner’s duty, breach, causation, and damages, and by comparing each party’s share of fault.
Slip-and-fall involves slipping on surface conditions; trip-and-fall involves a hazard.
You may still recover if you are partly at fault, under California’s comparative negligence rules, but the amount may be reduced.
Common injuries include sprains, fractures, concussions, and back or neck injuries from a fall or hazardous property.
