Premises liability covers injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, including stores, apartment buildings, government facilities, and common areas.
In California, property owners owe a duty to keep premises reasonably safe for visitors, and injured individuals may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, time off work, and pain and suffering.
A premises liability claim asks whether a property owner failed to maintain safe conditions or warn of hazards, and whether that failure caused your injuries.
Proving negligence, identifying responsible parties, gathering evidence, and pursuing a fair settlement or, if needed, a court decision, are typical steps in premises liability cases.
Key terms you may encounter include negligence, duty of care, notice of hazard, and comparative fault, defined to help you understand your rights.
