Answer to question 1. Premises liability covers injuries caused by dangerous conditions on property. In California, almost anyone injured on another person’s property can pursue a claim, including visitors and customers. A successful case requires proving the owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach caused your injuries. Evidence such as photos, witness statements, and medical records helps establish liability.
Answer to question 2. The time limit for filing varies by case, but in California most premises liability claims must be filed within two years of the injury. It is important to consult with an attorney promptly to protect your rights and ensure deadlines are met.
Answer to question 3. Damages can include medical expenses, wage loss, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases non economic damages. A lawyer can help determine a value based on medical reports and other evidence.
Answer to question 4. Bring medical records, any incident reports, witness contacts, photos or video of the hazard, and details about when and where the injury occurred.
Answer to question 5. In many cases you can reach a resolution without going to court through settlements, demands, or mediations. However, some cases do proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
