Premises Liability

Premises liability cases involve injuries received while on someone else’s property. Property owners and businesses have a duty to maintain a safe property for customers, pedestrians, and other visitors and effectively warn them of possible dangers. These types of cases most often involve slip and fall accidents. When a defective condition, foreign substance, or object causes a fall, you need a California slip and fall lawyer.

When a visitor to a property suffers a preventable injury, the law of premises liability determines the responsibility of the property owner or manager; the law applies both to residences and places of business. The key to California slip and fall accident cases is to prove that the property owner or manager was negligent and your injury resulted from that negligence. A California slip and fall lawyer at Escamilla Law Offices can help you get the money you deserve.

The following injurious situations are examples of premises liability:

• Slip and falls caused by slippery floors or standing water, ice, or snow
• Trip-and-falls caused by damaged or uneven walkways, slippery stairs, or poor upkeep
• Inadequate security (lights, surveillance) resulting in a preventable assault by a third party
• Construction site injuries, particularly those involving persons other than workers
• Pool drownings
• Falling trees
• Products falling off of shelves at a store
