Our Lawyers Advocate for Injured Claimants Following All Types of Premises Liability Incidents
The crux of your case involves showing that because a property owner didn’t keep their premises safe, you were injured and deserve damages. For more than a decade, our injury attorneys have advocated for claimants after suffering:
- Slips and falls. Wet walkways, broken tiles, and uneven flooring can lead to slip-and-fall accidents. Here, your lawyer would assert that a property owner is liable because they knew (or should have known) about the hazard but didn’t address it.
- Dog bites. You can hold a dog’s owner liable if you suffered a dog bite while lawfully on their property.
- Negligent security. All property owners must do their diligence to prevent assaults from befalling lawful guests on their property. For instance, landlords must ensure working locks to protect residents from intruders. Bars and nightclubs must have security guards to prevent fights.
- Construction accidents. Construction sites and the areas around them can be hazardous for workers, pedestrians, bystanders, and even residents of a property undergoing maintenance. If a danger on the property caused injury, we can hold the owner of the site liable.
- Near-fatal drownings. Property owners (such as hotel operators) must either have lifeguards around pools or signs that say: “Swim at your own risk.” Our team advocates for people who have suffered injuries from near-fatal drownings or lost loved ones. We can also hold a homeowner liable if you or a loved one suffered a near drowning.
- We understand that your loved one may have lost their life due to a property owner’s negligence. To ease this difficult period in whatever way we can, we offer the services of our Murrieta wrongful death lawyer. They can handle your case while you spend time with your loved ones.
Our Murrieta Premises Liability Lawyers Seek Full Compensation for Your Losses
Financial recovery offers the resources you need to access medical care and rebuild your life after suffering a serious injury. Our law firm understands how important compensation is to our clients. So, we do everything in our power to seek these (and other) damages:
- Past and future medical costs
- Lost income, along with loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage expenses (such as broken prescription glasses or assistive devices)
- Out-of-pocket losses, such as transportation expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death-related losses, such as funeral and burial costs
- Other non-economic damages, such as disability, scarring, and disfigurement
Under the state’s statute of limitations (CCP § 335.1), you have just two years to file your premises liability lawsuit. Yet, other case-specific factors could reduce your filing period. For instance, if you suffered an injury on government property, you could have just six months.
Our Murrieta premises liability attorneys assess your case’s filing deadlines and then handle the obligations that come with them. However, before we can set your case in motion, we must learn your story first.

Considerations After Your Murrieta Accident
Seeking medical attention should be your priority after suffering an injury on another party’s property. A doctor can stabilize your condition and offer the medical evidence needed to compel fair compensation. Getting immediate healthcare also establishes a direct connection between your injury and the accident itself, possibly making negotiations easier.
Other measures that could strengthen your case include:
Documenting the accident scene. If possible, take photos of the hazard that caused your condition. This may include an unrestrained dog, a slippery floor, or a darkly lit parking lot.
Recording your losses. Your injury-related invoices, bills, and receipts help your lawyer determine what qualifies as a fair settlement offer. There’s no such thing as too much information to support your claim’s value.
Following through with your treatment plan. Visiting the doctor is just one aspect of your recovery. You must also follow through with their regimen, which may include taking certain medications and refraining from strenuous activity. You don’t want to discontinue your treatment, as this could give the insurer a reason to doubt your condition’s severity.
We also suggest sharing all settlement offers with your lawyer. They can explain which one meets your needs and advise you from there.
Frequently Asked Questions About Murrieta Premises Liability Cases
There’s no such thing as being too informed about your financial recovery options. So, we’ve compiled some things you should know about the claims process. That way, you can feel confident that you’re making the best decisions for your situation. We find that many clients want to know:
“How Long Does a Premises Liability Claim Take?”
You could recover compensation in a matter of days or a matter of years. Your case’s progression depends on many factors, including its supporting evidence. Our team understands that you want a resolution to your case as soon as possible. We prevent any unjust delays and keep your case moving forward.
“How Much Is My Claim Worth?”
The value of your premises liability claim depends on:
- The severity of your condition
- Your estimated recovery period
- Your missed time from work
- Your out-of-pocket expenses
- Any allegations of fault
California does not limit how much you can seek in a personal injury case. Trust our team to seek what you need while you focus on your recovery.
“What Happens if the Other Party Says I Caused the Accident?”
Don’t let the other party bully you out of seeking legal representation and moving forward with a premises liability case. They have a vested interest in denying the compensation you’re owed. Even if you contributed to the accident, you still have options for seeking financial recovery. Our team can explain these details when you connect with us.
“Do I Have to Accept the Insurance Company’s First Offer?”
No. You don’t have to accept the first, second, or 50th offer if it doesn’t meet your needs. Your lawyer can assess any offers and explain whether it would be in your best interests to accept one. This is very important because, once you accept a settlement, your case ends. You can’t go back and ask for more funds, even if your condition takes a turn for the worse.
“Does the Location of My Premises Liability Incident Matter?”
The location of your accident matters for many reasons. Here’s why. Imagine that you slipped and fell while visiting Murrieta City Hall. In that instance, we must comply with the laws surrounding suing a government agency. Most notably, this would likely give you only six months to file a lawsuit. We would have to start working quickly on your case for it to succeed.
“What Happens if the Liable Insurance Company Denies My Claim?”
It’s not the end of the world if the insurance company initially denies your claim. Your lawyer can learn the reason for the denial and address it accordingly. For instance, the insurer may deny your claim if there wasn’t enough supporting evidence. In that instance, your lawyer can supply more information.
Another common reason for insurance claim denials is disputes over liability. Relying on their years of experience, your lawyer can assert liability and fight for what you need.
