Frequently asked questions
A premises liability case arises when an individual is injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions, such as wet floors, broken stairways, insufficient security, or dog bites. If the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injury, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim.
To prove negligence in a premises liability case, you must demonstrate that:
- The property owner had a duty to maintain safe conditions.
- They breached that duty by failing to address hazards or warn visitors.
- The breach directly caused your injury, and
- You suffered damages as a result.
An experienced attorney can help gather evidence and build a strong case for compensation.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a premises liability lawsuit. There may be exceptions, so it’s best to consult an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing any deadlines.
Yes, California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. However, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that amount.
If you’ve been injured on someone’s property, it’s essential to:
- Seek medical attention immediately.
- Document the scene with photos or videos.
- Collect contact information for witnesses.
- Report the incident to the property owner or manager.
- Contact a premises liability attorney to assess your case and discuss your options.
