Slip and Fall Attorney Orange County California
Under California law, a property owner has a duty to keep his or her 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 that cause bodily injury to others.
Common types of premises liability claims include injuries from: trip or slip and fall, dog bites, falling debris, exposure to hazardous material, swimming pool accidents and drownings, fires, inadequate security and insufficient 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 conditions.
Property owners may be held responsible for injuries sustained as a result of their negligent property management. It is, therefore, important to contact a trip and fall lawyer in Los Angeles to determine if your accident falls within the bounds of premises liability law. If you have a valid claim against a property owner, an experienced slip and fall attorney in Orange County can help you determine how to best proceed with your claim and help prove that your injuries are a direct result of a property owner’s negligence.
