Premises Liability Attorneys
Los Angeles Premises Liability Attorneys
Premises liability accidents are when an injury occurs to a person on someone else’s property. Premises liability cases arise out of negligence. In many cases, the owner of the property is the person responsible for injuries that are caused by negligent property maintenance here in Los Angeles.
Most commercial properties, however, are leased out to business tenants, meaning that the business on the property is responsible for maintenance. The situation is further complicated when it is a residential property for rent, since the landlord and tenant may share responsibility in some situations.
In many of these kinds of cases, the responsible party will have liability insurance to help insure against the risk of these kinds of injuries. In order to bring a California personal injury lawsuit against the property owner, the plaintiff must show that there was some sort of dangerous condition on the property that contributed to their accident.

Have You Incurred A Premises Liability Injury?
After sustaining injuries in a premises liability accident, you need to get medical attention immediately. Some injuries may persist for weeks or months and require follow-up and physical therapy.
Your next step should be to hire an experienced personal injury attorney who is knowledgeable about premises liability cases. It is important to realize that personal injury cases are governed by a statute of limitations, meaning that you need to retain legal counsel sooner rather than later. Waiting too long to bring your case could mean that it can be thrown out with no possibility of future filing.
Hiring an attorney to help review your evidence and the facts of your case will help ensure that your claim is filed properly and that the insurance company or defendants take your claim seriously.

How Premises Liability Accidents Happen
Premises liability accidents happen in many ways other than “slips and falls.” Any injury or accident that is a result of a property owner’s negligence in inspecting, building, or maintaining their property in California will give rise to a premises liability claim.
This is true whether the building is a private residence, public building, business, or open land. Some of the common situations that give rise to premises liability claims include:
- Broken steps and handrails
- Lifted carpet, cords, uneven floorboards, and other trip hazards
- Slippery floor surfaces, from water, soap, or another liquid
- Dog bites
- Sharp metal or other objects
- Poorly lit parking or walkways
- Ice, standing water, or other environmental factors
- Rotten walls, floorboards, or loose fixtures in a home
Slip & Fall Premises Injuries
Injuries from these types of accidents can be severe. Fall injuries are the leading cause of head injuries, which are permanent and often life-threatening injuries. Many victims often suffer broken bones, lacerations, and muscular injuries from the fall or from attempting to brace themselves from injuries.
In specific cases involving a sharp object or a dog bite, there can also be disfigurement, scarring, lacerations, and puncture wounds. All of these injuries require experienced legal representation to ensure that you are fairly compensated for the medical care that you require and the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of someone’s negligence.
If you have suffered any type of injury on another person’s property, you should call Oaks Law Firm today to determine whether or not you have a valid Los Angeles premises liability claim.
