Premises Liability

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is an area of law that holds negligent property owners responsible when others are hurt on their property. Under premises liability law, a property owner either has a duty to fix dangerous conditions or a duty to warn guests of dangers.

If a property owner fails to fix a dangerous condition or fails to warn visitors about the danger, and someone is hurt as a result, the property owner may be held legally responsible and financially liable for the victim’s injuries.

If you were injured on someone else’s property in California, you may have the right to financial compensation. If property owners fail to keep their premises safe, they may have a responsibility to pay for the injured person’s expenses.

Why a Lawyer Can Help in a Premises Liability Case

A lawyer can be especially valuable in a premises liability case because property owners usually fix dangerous conditions on the property as soon as an accident happens. This can make it harder to prove what caused the injury if evidence is not collected quickly.

Finding important evidence is necessary to show that something hazardous did, in fact, cause your accident. This evidence may include photos, witness statements, incident reports, maintenance records, surveillance footage, and other information that helps support your claim.
