Premises Liability

About Premises Liability

Premises liability covers injuries that happen because a property was not kept reasonably safe. Whether you fell in a store, an apartment stairwell, or a hotel, you may have a claim. In California, property owners generally must keep their premises reasonably safe, and a claim typically requires showing the owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn of it. California follows pure comparative negligence, so even partial fault on your part may reduce, but not bar, recovery. Recoverable damages often include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Deadlines apply, so acting promptly helps.
