Premise Liability Attorneys

San Francisco, Sacramento,
and Chico, California

The legal term “premises liability” typically refers to injuries or deaths that occur due to negligent maintenance or dangerous conditions on property that is owned by someone other than the person who was injured or killed.

Premises liability laws vary greatly from state to state. What may be considered a premises liability claim in one state may not be so in another. An experienced premises liability attorney, such as those at Jacoby & Meyers, LLC in Southern California can review your case during a confidential consultation and decide if you do, indeed, have a valid premises liability claim.

Most states have laws that require land owners and building owners to maintain their property in a manner so as not to cause injury to others. Often these laws pertain to residential homeowners and business owners.

In many states, business and property owners have a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for any individual who comes onto their premises. If you or a loved is injured because a property owner or a business owner failed to provide a safe environment, you may have a valid premises liability injury claim and may be able to collect damages incurred due to your injury.

The following is a partial list of expenses for which you may receive financial compensation:

• Medical expenses
• Prescription expenses
• Physical rehabilitation if applicable
• Lost wages
• Future lost wages
• Travel expenses to medical appointments
• Funeral expenses if applicable
• Pain and suffering, only in certain cases

Some examples of the more common types of premises liability cases include the following:

• Slip and fall accidents at commercial establishments (e.g., falls caused by liquids, falls caused by obstacles in an aisle, parking lot hazards, lack of snow or ice removal).
• Slip and falls caused by unsafe property conditions (e.g., large pot holes in parking lots, obstacles in parking lots, construction zones not clearly marked, etc.)
• Construction site accidents
• Assault by other customers or store employees
• Negligent security (e.g., no security cameras, security cameras that do not function, and lack of security personnel).

If you live in Southern California and have been injured on someone else’s property, you may have a valid premises liability claim. The experienced premises liability attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers, LLC can meet with you during a confidential, no-cost consultation to review your case and advise you of how to proceed.
