Property Owner Negligence

Premises Liability

Premises liability is a broad area of California law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their property. While slip and fall accidents are the most commonly known type, premises liability extends to negligent or absent security, inadequate building maintenance, swimming pool accidents, elevator and escalator failures, falling objects, and other dangerous property conditions. If you were injured on someone else's property, the owner or manager may be legally obligated to compensate you.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

• Negligent or absent security leading to assault or injury
• Inadequate maintenance of common areas in apartment buildings and commercial properties
• Swimming pool accidents, including lack of fencing and supervision failures
• Elevator and escalator failures due to improper maintenance
• Falling objects and unsafe shelving in retail and warehouse settings
