Duties of Premises Owners in El Cajon

Property owners in California have a duty to keep and maintain their property in safe working condition so that their customers, visitors, and guests are not exposed to unreasonable hazards. They are also responsible for inspecting their property regularly for potential hazards.

If a property owner becomes aware of a hazard or potential danger on their premises, they should take steps to fix the problem, as well as warn anyone they expect to encounter the hazard. One common example of this is a wet floor sign displayed after mopping a commercial location.

Invitees and Licensees

Some states distinguish between invitees, meaning invited guests, and licensees, who may enter the property legally even though they have not been expressly invited. For instance, utility workers are one example of licensees, because they are not expressly invited guests but may still enter a property to perform their duties. El Cajon, California requires property owners to put forth at least a reasonable duty of care to both invitees and licensees.

Comparative Negligence in Premises Liability Cases

California laws tend to be generous towards victims seeking compensation for injuries that occurred on another party’s premises. Premises liability law in El Cajon follows what is known as the comparative negligence doctrine, which allows those injured on another party’s property to seek personal injury damages. However, the damage award may be reduced by the percentage of fault the victim had in bringing about the injury.

Under the comparative negligence doctrine, victims are prohibited from seeking compensation, even if they had a hand in contributing to their own injury. Unlike some other locations, in El Cajon compensation is still available even if a court determines the plaintiff’s own negligence was responsible for a majority of the fault in bringing about the injury or accident.
