PREMISES LIABILITY​

​

Premises liability involves injuries that occur due to unsafe conditions on someone else's property. These cases can include incidents such as slip-and-falls, dog bites, pool accidents, or playground injuries. When a property owner neglects necessary maintenance or fails to address hazardous conditions, they may be held responsible for any resulting injuries.

​

In California, property owners are required by Civil Code 1714 to maintain their property in a safe condition. This means they must conduct regular inspections, repair hazards, or provide appropriate warnings about unsafe conditions. Failure to do so constitutes negligence if the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous conditions.

​

To pursue a premises liability claim, you need to demonstrate that the property owner was aware of, or should have been aware of, the dangerous condition and failed to address it. The level of care required can vary, but generally, property owners are expected to keep their premises safe for visitors.
