Can I Hold a Property Owner Liable for My Injuries?

Premises liability refers to the financial responsibility landowners bear for injuries that occur on their property. 

If you have suffered an injury while on someone else’s property – be it a store, a private home, or some other place of business – you may be able to file personal injury lawsuit against the owner and / or another party responsible for the property. 

A personal injury claim can allow you to recover financial compensation for your damages. However, whether you have grounds for legal action will depend on the facts of your case.

In California, a person or company can be held liable for injuries on their land if all the following apply:

  1. They owned, leased, occupied, or controlled the property;
  2. They were negligent in failing to protect against dangerous conditions they knew or should have known about; 
  3. You suffered an injury; and
  4. The defendant’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing your injury.

Property owners and others who control a premise have a duty to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. If they fail to take reasonable care in protecting against a dangerous condition on their land that poses a foreseeable risk of injury, and / or fail to warn people who come to their property, it may constitute negligence and allow injured victims to hold them liable.

Though negligence in premises cases can take many forms, some common examples include:

  • A slip and fall accident caused by a store owner’s failure to clean up a spill.
  • Improperly stacked items at a grocery store that fall and injure a customer.
  • A drowning or near-drowning at a pool that occurred because the property owner failed to supervise or provide lifeguards. 
  • Injuries suffered in an assault at a nightclub due to negligent security.
  • Injuries suffered by a victim who fell down a flight of broken stairs.
  • A dog bite or animal attack on another’s property.

Our attorneys can personally review your case and explain whether you may have grounds to pursue a personal injury lawsuit based on premises liability.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Recover After a Premises Accident?

When successful, personal injury claims allow victims to recover monetary compensation for damages resulting from their injuries. These are different in every case, but may include:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Past and future medical bills
  • Past and future lost wages
  • Emotional and psychological anguish
  • Other financial and non-economic damages

Recovering compensation after an accident is crucial to helping victims pay for their needed medical treatment, and to covering various losses they incurred, such as lost income from missing work, lost future wages caused by a lasting disability, and their physical and emotional suffering. In cases involving catastrophic accidents, securing a full financial recovery is vital to helping victims pay for future needs.
