Premises liability is the area of law that requires property owners to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When owners fail, injuries may be compensable.
The core elements are duty, breach, causation, and damages. We investigate the scene, review maintenance records, and work with experts to build a strong, well-documented claim.
Glossary of terms helps you understand common concepts in premises liability cases.
Duty of Care: the legal obligation to keep others safe on property and to warn of known hazards.
Causation: the connection between the hazardous condition and your injury.

A premises liability claim involves injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. You may be entitled to compensation if the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment. California law requires property owners to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm.
Anyone who was injured due to unsafe conditions on property they were legally allowed to be on may file a claim. This can include customers, visitors, residents, and delivery personnel.
In California, the statute of limitations for premises liability is generally two years from the date of injury. Certain factors can shorten or extend this window, so consult a lawyer promptly.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, lost income, and damages for pain, suffering, and safety losses. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case.
While not required, having a lawyer can help you navigate complex laws, gather evidence, and negotiate a fair settlement or pursue litigation if necessary.
Legal representation costs vary. Many premises liability cases work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only receive a payment if there is a recovery.
Bring photos, incident reports, medical records, and a list of witnesses. If possible, bring any contracts or proof of ownership for the property.
Most premises liability cases settle before trial, but some cases proceed to court to obtain a fair resolution.
Liability is typically based on whether the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and whether the breach caused your injuries.
If you share some fault for the incident, your compensation may be reduced under comparative negligence principles in California.
