Accidents on property/premises liability
What you should know about premises liability
Property owners are responsible for making sure their premises are reasonably safe for others, including visitors to a home, citizens walking along a sidewalk or customers of a business. Property owners can be held responsible if another person is injured on the premises. The legal term for these cases is premises liability.
If you were injured on someone's property due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation as part of a premises liability claim. Premises liability laws are complex. To increase your chances of maximizing compensation, choose an experienced California lawyer. Contact the Law Offices of Mickey Fine. Call (800) 576-3818.
How a premises liability accident happens
A premises liability case may arise after a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Other examples of situations leading to a potential premises liability case include:
- Negligent security (for example, a poorly lighted parking lot may be a contributing factor in a criminal assault)
- Poor maintenance of property (for example, a business with torn carpet or a broken handrail may contribute to an injury)
- Items falling from a shelf in a department store
In proving negligence in a premises liability case, the following conditions must be present:
- The condition was known but no steps were taken to correct it.
- Enough time had gone by for the responsible party to become aware of the condition that it should have been corrected.
