Premises Liability Covers a Wide Range of Accidents

The most common type of accident that is under premises liability is a slip and fall. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly 3 million older adults will visit an emergency room each year due to a fall.

Slip and falls are not the only type of accident that could be a premises liability claim. You may have a premises liability claim if you suffered injuries in any of the following types of accidents:

• Falling objects
• Inadequate security
• Poor lighting
• Dog bites
• Swimming pool accidents
• Elevator and escalator accidents
• Structural defects
• Fires
• Exposure to chemicals

Our California premises liability attorneys have experience helping clients injured in such accidents and can help do the same for you. Our legal team is dedicated to helping injured people recover physically, financially, and emotionally. We welcome you to read some of the testimonials past clients have left, sharing their praise and recommendations for our service.

You Deserve Compensation for Your Medical Care and Losses

Your injuries following an accident on another’s property could be minor and require little in the way of medical attention. However, in many instances, victims in a premises liability claim suffer from severe to catastrophic injuries, such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Sprained to torn muscles
• Cuts and lacerations
• Internal injuries
• Dislocations

The medical care to treat such injuries could be extensive, possibly leaving you with a mountain of medical bills. Additionally, you will likely be unable to work while you are recovering. Unable to support your family and the high medical expenses, you will be under tremendous financial strain. This scenario doesn’t even account for the numerous other damages you may have in your case.

Our California premises liability lawyers will assess your case and compile a complete list of the damages in your personal injury claim. We will submit your demands for fair compensation to the liable party’s insurance company for such losses as:

• Medical expenses, such as surgeries, hospital stays, and medications
• Lost income, including bonuses, tips, and benefits
• Reduced earning capacity if you can no longer work the same job
• Pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and other mental health issues
• Property damage lost in the accident
• Disfigurement and disability the injury has caused
• Loss of enjoyment in life for the activities you can no longer do
• Loss of consortium for the effect on your relationships

We can also help families who have lost a loved one. Our wrongful death lawyers in California can seek compensation for funeral costs and burial expenses, final medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Property Owner Negligence in California

When a property owner’s negligence causes injury to another, the injured victim can sue the owner for compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. In California, negligence means that a property owner failed to take reasonable care to avoid harm befalling property visitors.

However, this does not mean that the owner must make the property perfectly safe for anyone who enters the premises. Rather, this standard means that property owners who have control over the premises must take reasonable precautions to either fix dangerous conditions or warn visitors about those conditions. For example, if a store owner notices a spill on the floor that could cause injury to a customer, the owner has an obligation to either clean it up or warn customers about it. If the owner knows (or should have known) about the spill and does nothing, causing injury to a customer, they behaved negligently.

Not every premises accident is so clear cut as this example. Determining negligence can be a complicated process depending on the exact situation, particularly when someone suffered injuries on residential, rather than commercial, property. Our California premises liability lawyer can help injured victims determine who is liable for their injuries.

We Have a Limited Time to Pursue Compensation in Your Premises Liability Case

To prove negligence in your case, we must investigate the accident and collect evidence. The evidence in your case could come from a wide range of sources, like accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert testimonies.

For the strongest case possible, we need to start on your case as soon as possible. If we wait, evidence could be lost, and memories can fade. More importantly, we must file your personal injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires. Under CCP § 335.1, you generally have a two-year window starting on the date of the accident. If the deadline expires, the courts will bar your case.

Thankfully, most cases settle out of court, but we must retain your right to sue to effectively negotiate with the insurance companies.
