We’re Here To Help

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their spaces safe for guests and visitors. If you’re invited or have permission to be on the property, they must fix or warn you about any known hazards. When they fail to do that and you’re injured — whether from a wet floor, broken stairs, or poor lighting—they may be held responsible.

Filing A Claim For Premises Liability

If you were hurt on someone else’s property, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a premises liability lawsuit in California. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to seek compensation. Claims involving a government entity require a formal notice within six months, so acting quickly is crucial.

California premises liability law holds property owners and other responsible parties accountable for injuries caused by unsafe conditions or negligent maintenance. An owner may be liable if they failed to correct a hazard or provide a proper warning.

Liability is based on whether the owner used reasonable care to keep the property safe. This is evaluated by factors such as the type and location of the property, whether the owner knew or should have known about the hazard, their control over the condition, the likelihood of someone entering, the risk and severity of injury, and the difficulty or cost of fixing the issue.
