Premises Liability Claims: Seeking Compensation For Injuries On Someone Else’s Property

Property owners and occupants have a responsibility to keep their property safe. If you get hurt on someone else’s property, you may be able to seek compensation for your accident injuries. Asadi Law is a boutique personal injury firm with offices in San Jose and Beverly Hills. Founding attorney Alex Asadi has dedicated his legal career to representing clients throughout California who have been injured because of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing.

A Property Owner’s Responsibility

In the state of California, property owners and tenants are responsible for keeping their properties safe and free from hazardous conditions. In premises liability laws, this is known as a duty of care. Under these laws, a commercial tenant or homeowner is required to regularly:

  • Inspect their property so that they are aware of unsafe conditions
  • Repair any dangerous conditions
  • Warn visitors of potential risks

If an owner or tenant fails in their duty of care, they can be held responsible for any accidents and resulting injuries that happen as a result. If you have been injured in an accident that happened on someone else’s property, you may have a claim for damages under the premises liability laws in California.

Different Types Of Premises Liability Cases

There are a lot of different ways you can get injured on someone else’s property. Some common types of premises liability cases include:

  • Negligent security: When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, such as proper lighting or security personnel, and you get injured as a result, they could be responsible for not providing adequate security.
  • Retail accidents: Slips, trips, and falls in stores due to wet floors, cluttered aisles, or poorly maintained premises can provide a foundation for a premises liability claim.
  • Uneven flooring: Tripping hazards caused by uneven surfaces or poorly maintained walkways in public spaces could lead to liability under premises liability laws.
  • Outdoor accidents on a pier or walkway: Injuries sustained from unsafe conditions on piers, docks, or walkways can lead to a premises liability claim.
  • Falling objects: When items fall from shelves or displays and cause injuries to visitors, owners can be responsible for negligence.

Even a simple slip-and-fall on someone else’s property could be grounds for a premises liability claim. In the state of California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim for premises liability. When the accident happens on government property, you have even less time: you must file a claim within six months.

If you have been injured because of the unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, it is important to seek advice from an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you understand if you have a claim for premises liability and make sure that your right to recover compensation is protected.
