To succeed, you typically must prove the property owner owed you a duty, breached that duty, and caused your injuries.

In California, you generally have two years from the injury date to file a claim, with some exceptions. Missing deadlines can limit your ability to recover compensation, so timely action is important. Our team can review your case and help you stay on track.
Liability can involve the property owner, manager, landlord, or operator depending on who controlled the hazard. California uses comparative negligence rules, which may affect recovery if you share some fault.
You can file a claim without a lawyer, but premises liability cases involve complex rules and negotiations. An attorney helps gather evidence, assess liability, communicate with insurers, and seek the best possible outcome.
Damages can include medical bills, time lost from work, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In some cases, loss of future earnings and diminished quality of life are considered. An attorney helps quantify and pursue these damages.
Fault is determined by who owed a duty of care, whether that duty was breached, and whether the breach caused your injuries. Investigations, witness statements, and medical records help establish causation.
Helpful documents include incident reports, photos, video, medical records and bills, insurance communications, and witness contact information. Providing these early strengthens your claim.
Most premises liability attorneys work on a contingency fee, meaning payment is due only if you recover. There may be costs for expert witnesses or court filings, but many firms cover these in the agreement.
California uses comparative negligence rules. You may still recover if your fault is partial, but your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault. A lawyer can help limit shared fault impact.
Case duration varies by complexity and court workload. Some claims settle earlier, while others proceed to trial. We aim to resolve your case efficiently while protecting your rights.
