Injuries Sustained On Property

Premises Liability Lawyers

UNDERSTANDING PROPERTY INJURY LIABILITY IN CALIFORNIA

Premises liability is an umbrella term that places liability on a property owner, or the one in control of the property, if an individual on the property suffers a particular injury. A dog bite, slip-and-fall incident, inadequate security, fire accident, and other unsafe conditions can all give rise to a potential cause of action if an injury occurs.

INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR THEIR INJURIES

In premises liability cases, there are three categories of individuals that will determine the overall outcome.

  • Invitees: These individuals are invited onto a property, such as a restaurant, hotel, retail store, by an implied invitation or verbal invitation to conduct business.
  • Licensees: These individuals are allowed to enter a property with the consent, either written or verbal, by the owner of the property or landlord. Guests or repair technicians are common examples of licensees.
  • Trespassers: These individuals are given neither implied nor verbal consent to enter a property. While trespassers do not have any legal right to be on a property, they may still have a cause of action under certain laws in California depending on the circumstance.
