Premises liability

Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail and someone is hurt, we help injured people pursue fair compensation.

## When a property owner is responsible

People hurt on someone else's property, whether a store, a business, or a private home, may be able to recover for their injuries and related costs. California law requires owners and occupiers to take reasonable steps to find hazards and to repair them or warn visitors about them.

A common example is a slip on a freshly waxed or wet floor with no warning sign. When an owner fails to address a dangerous condition and someone is injured as a result, that owner may be held responsible.

## Proving your claim

These cases turn on showing that the owner owed you a duty of care and failed to meet it. We gather the evidence, handle the insurer, and work to secure a fair settlement, or take the case to trial if necessary.

Common questions

## Premises liability FAQs

### What do I have to prove in a premises liability case?

Generally, that the property owner or occupier had a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe, that they failed to do so, and that this failure caused your injury. The specific facts determine how strong a claim is.

### What if I was partly careless?

California's pure comparative negligence rule lets you recover even if you were partly at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share of responsibility.

### How long do I have to file?

Most California premises liability claims must be filed within two years, with shorter deadlines when a government entity is involved. Contact us early. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
