Santa Clarita Accident & Injury Lawyers
Premises Liability
Premises liability law makes the person who is in possession of land or premises responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are present on the premises. Commonly referred to as “slip and fall” accidents, premises liability is a type of legal action which allows an injured victim to sue a property owner for damages resulting from injuries sustained on their property. If a property owner fails to properly maintain a reasonably safe environment they risk having to pay compensation to anyone who is injured on their property for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. When determining who is liable in a premises liability claim, your Santa Clarita personal injury attorney will take into consideration who has ownership, possession, and control of the premises on which the accident or injury took place.
A premises liability claim can be made if any of the following apply to a person’s property:
- Poorly maintained properties and grounds
- Broken and/or uneven pavement
- Unsafe conditions caused by construction or renovation
- Employee negligence, failure to follow proper procedure
- Lack of property security
- Lack of proper lighting
- Falling merchandise from store shelves, falling debris from construction
- Any unsafe or dangerous condition
