Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on property owned or controlled by others, from slips and falls to improper maintenance.
Proving fault requires showing a dangerous condition existed, the owner knew or should have known, and reasonable steps were not taken to fix it.
Under California law, property owners must keep premises reasonably safe. When negligence leads to injury, you may have a premises liability claim against the owner or occupier.
Elements typically include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process often starts with gathering evidence, reviewing safety records, and negotiating a settlement or pursuing a lawsuit.
Glossary terms explain common concepts used in premises liability cases.
The owner knew about a hazard or should have known through reasonable inspection.
A hazardous condition existed long enough for the owner to discover it through reasonable care.
The property owner has a legal obligation to maintain a reasonably safe environment.
California uses comparative fault rules to reduce damages by your share of fault.
