San Diego Premises Liability Attorneys

Premises liability refers to accidents and injuries that occur as the result of an unsafe condition at another person’s property. These accidents can occur almost anywhere – at a mall, grocery store, house or apartment, restaurant, amusement park, office building or more.

Premises liability covers many forms of accidents:

• Slip and falls
• Fires or explosions
• Roof cave-in
• Broken glass
• Animal attacks
• Swimming pool accidents

Here are a few examples of accidents or situations that would qualify as premises liability claims and enable a person to sue the property owner or proprietor for damages:

• You are walking across the marble floor of a department store when you suddenly slip and fall. You look up to see a custodian mopping the floor, but there is no caution sign present to warn customers of the danger.
• You are watching a movie at the theatre when a ceiling tile falls onto your head, seriously injuring you.
• You are at an acquaintance’s house and their dog attacks and injures you.

Responsibility of the property owner

It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure their property is free from hazardous or dangerous situations that could cause injury to visitors. Through inspection and maintenance the owner or proprietor should discover and fix hazards in a timely manner. If the hazard cannot be fixed immediately, the owner or proprietor must post a sign warning others of the possible danger.
