Premises liability covers injuries caused by dangerous conditions on properties you visit, including stores, sidewalks, and rental buildings.
In California, property owners owe a duty to maintain safe premises, and you may be entitled to compensation if they fail to do so.
A premises liability claim arises when someone is harmed by a dangerous condition on property owned or controlled by another party, and the owner’s failure to fix or warn about the hazard contributed to the injury.
In these cases, the key elements include the property owner’s duty of care, a breach of that duty, causation linking the hazard to your injury, and damages that reflect medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The process typically begins with a thorough investigation, followed by documentation, demands, negotiations, and potential court action if a settlement cannot be reached.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in premises liability cases.

Failure to meet the standard of care required to maintain safe premises.
A connection between the unsafe condition and the resulting injury.
