PREMISES LIABILITY

Under California law, a property owner has duty to keep his property reasonably safe, and to warn others of any dangerous condition if such a condition exists. Premises liability cases cover all cases where the owner breaches that duty of care, allowing dangerous conditions to exist on the property, and causing bodily injury to others.

Some common types of injuries in premises liability lawsuits can be due to slip or trip & fall, dog bites, repair men falling off a ladder, exposure to hazardous material, swimming pool drownings, or diving board accidents, fires, inadequate security, & inadequate lighting in common areas. Often such injuries occur due to the negligence of the property owner, either in failing to reasonably maintain or repair the property to eliminate the dangerous condition; or failing to warn of the existence of such dangerous condition.

When someone is injured on the premises, the question of Homeowners or Property Insurance which covers the premises is one of the main aspects of a legal proceeding when it comes to a premises liability lawsuit. An attorney may be required to make painstaking efforts to locate and pursue insurance coverage that will provide adequate compensation for the plaintiffs injuries and damages.

The Law Offices of Mann & Elias has successfully represented numerous plaintiffs for bodily injury claims against property owners for their negligence. Please see our most recent results.
