And, our dedicated, skilled premises liability attorneys are not afraid to fight to obtain a settlement or judgment on behalf of our clients. If you hire us, we will protect your best interests and legal rights as well as pursue the maximum amount of damages on your behalf.

What Are Premises Liability Laws In California?

Premises liability cases typically rely on the theory of negligence, so to win one of these cases, the injured person must prove the following four elements:

  1. The person responsible for the injury (the defendant) exercised control over the premises at the time of the accident;

  2. The defendant did not use reasonable care to protect the safety of the people on the property;

  3. The person filing the premises liability claim (the plaintiff), or a surviving family member of the plaintiff, was harmed or injured;

  4. The defendant's negligent behavior was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff's injuries.

It is not enough to prove some of the elements of negligence; a preponderance of the evidence must establish each one of the four elements. If the plaintiff can only prove three of the four elements, then they will not be able to recover any damages. However, by hiring an experienced premises liability attorney, it is possible to improve your chances of successfully proving a premises liability lawsuit.
