Premises liability is the legal duty of property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors; when that duty is breached, you may be entitled to damages.
To prevail, we establish duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, and we guide you through investigation, notice requirements, and settlement or court proceedings.
Common terms used in premises liability claims include duty of care, breach, notice, and comparative negligence. Here are quick definitions to help you understand the process.
A property owner’s obligation to keep premises reasonably safe for lawful visitors.
Knowledge of a hazard, either actual or should-have-known, that makes the premises unsafe.
Failure to repair, warn, or maintain safe conditions after becoming aware of a hazard.
Compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
You may pursue a claim directly with a property owner or their insurer, seek a settlement, or pursue litigation. We help assess the best path based on liability and damages.

Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Property owners have a duty to keep premises reasonably safe for visitors. If their negligence leads to your injury, you may be entitled to damages. This includes medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. Our team helps you understand your rights and the steps to pursue them.
In California, most premises liability claims must be filed within two years of the injury date, though exceptions can apply. Beginning the process early helps protect evidence and strengthens your position.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering. We also consider future medical costs and potential impact on your quality of life.
Having legal guidance helps you navigate complex insurance processes, gather evidence, and pursue fair compensation. We handle negotiations and, if needed, trial preparations to protect your rights.
Seek medical attention, report the incident, document the scene, and contact an attorney who can assess liability and timelines. Preserve records and avoid giving conflicting statements.
In many cases, medical bills are paid through the premises liability claim settlement or verdict. Your attorney helps coordinate with healthcare providers and liens as part of the recovery.
California follows a comparative negligence approach, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you share some fault for the injury. We evaluate liability carefully to pursue the maximum allowable recovery.
Many premises liability cases settle before trial, but some require a courtroom presentation. We prepare thoroughly to pursue a favorable outcome in any scenario.
Many personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay upfront and legal fees are paid from a portion of any recovery. You owe nothing if there is no settlement or verdict.
