What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is a legal concept that is involved in personal injury cases. It comes into play when people get injured by an unsafe condition on someone else’s property.
Types of Premises Liability Accidents
Common premises liability claims include:
- Slips & Falls: Floors compromised by snow, ice, or liquid spills make walking surfaces unsafe and can often result in bruises, scrapes, fractured bones, and serious head or back injuries.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Swimming pools must be set off with adequate safety measures. Premises liability surrounds any incidents while someone is swimming or in the area of the pool, including injuries caused by the absence of a lifeguard or improper lighting or fencing.
- Dog Bites: Property owners who have dogs are expected to control their pets and protect guests against severe bites or clawing.
- Asbestos Exposure: Many buildings are composed of materials and compounds that contain asbestos. These insulating materials can lead to serious illness after prolonged exposure.
Other accidents may occur from inadequate security measures, escalator or elevator injuries, fires, amusement park incidents, and more. Get in touch with a premises liability lawyer in California to discuss your case.
How is a Property Owner’s Liability Determined?
Your legal claim depends on various factors to establish premises liability, including:
- Proof that the person responsible for your injury owns the property.
- Identifiable harm to the plaintiff that could have been avoided with adequate maintenance and regard for safety.
- Evidence that the victim suffered a significant injury.
- Proof that the owner breached or violated standards of reasonable care for a property that was open to other people.
- There were no signs indicating that the property or site of the accident was unsafe.
Your California premises liability lawyer will work to verify the elements and others to substantiate your case.
