Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on property owned or controlled by another party, including businesses and landlords.
To succeed, you must show that the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries.
Premises liability is the legal responsibility of property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe. When hazards go unseen or unaddressed, injured visitors may pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income.
The core elements are duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process involves investigation, gathering records, negotiating with insurers, and, if needed, filing a civil claim to pursue fair compensation.

Premises liability law covers injuries caused by unsafe property conditions. It applies to stores, apartment buildings, and other properties where the owner owes visitors a duty of care. In California, liability can depend on whether the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and whether reasonable steps were taken to fix it. If you’ve been injured due to a hazardous condition, you may have a claim even if you were partially at fault; California uses comparative fault rules.
Anyone who enters property with permission and is injured due to a hazard may have a claim. Owners and managers owe a duty to keep common areas reasonably safe for guests and tenants. A lawyer can help determine whether you are an invitee, licensee, or trespasser and how that status affects your claim.
In California, the statute of limitations for premises liability is generally two years from the date of injury. There can be exceptions for specific situations or government property, so consult an attorney to confirm your deadline.
Damages include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and non-economic harms like pain and suffering. Your attorney will help quantify future medical needs and calculate ongoing costs as part of your claim.
While you can file a claim without a lawyer, having representation often improves the chance of a favorable settlement. A lawyer can manage deadlines, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurers on your behalf.
Fault is determined by evidence of hazard, maintenance records, and witness statements. Investigators review surveillance, incident reports, and medical records to establish liability and apportion fault.
Bring photos of the hazard, incident report, medical records, receipts, wage information, and any witness contact details. Note the date, time, location, and a concise description of what happened.
Yes, you can handle a premises liability case on your own, but cases can be complex. A lawyer can help protect your rights, meet deadlines, and pursue full compensation.
Our firm works on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and attorney fees are paid from your recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
Case duration varies with complexity, court schedules, and whether a claim settles before trial. Many cases resolve within months to a couple of years.
