Premises liability is the legal duty property owners owe to keep the premises reasonably safe for visitors and invitees.
In California, liability hinges on factors such as the hazard, notice, and whether the owner or manager failed to fix or warn about the danger before an injury occurred.
A premises liability claim arises when a hazardous condition on property under someone’s control causes an injury to a guest or visitor.
The core elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically involves collecting evidence, working with investigators, communicating with insurers, and pursuing compensation through negotiation or litigation.
