Each type of property is subject to different safety rules and inspection requirements. Our attorneys analyze maintenance records, building codes, and prior complaints to establish liability.

What qualifies as a dangerous condition on a property?

A dangerous condition is any hazard that creates an unreasonable risk of injury, such as wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven walkways, unsafe balconies, or lack of proper security. If the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix or warn about it, they may be legally responsible.

Do I have a case if there were no warning signs posted?

Yes. Property owners have a duty to warn visitors of known dangers. If there were no cones, signs, or barriers around a hazardous condition, this may indicate negligence and strengthen your premises liability claim.

Can I still file a claim if the property owner says they didn’t know about the hazard?

Yes. Under California law, owners can be liable if they should have known about the dangerous condition through reasonable inspections or maintenance. Long-standing or recurring hazards often support these claims.

What if I was injured on a rental property or apartment complex?

Landlords and property managers are responsible for maintaining safe common areas and repairing known hazards. If your injury resulted from poor maintenance or unsafe conditions, you may have a valid premises liability claim.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

What evidence is important in a premises liability case?

Important evidence includes photos or videos of the hazard, witness statements, incident reports, surveillance footage, medical records, and maintenance logs. Acting quickly helps preserve critical evidence.

How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in California?

Most premises liability claims must be filed within two years from the date of injury. If the accident occurred on government property, the deadline may be as short as six months. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim entirely.
