Premises Liability: Holding Property Owners Responsible For Safety Hazards
Property owners — whether commercial, residential or public entity — owe a certain duty of safety to patrons, tenants and visitors. Any person who has a lawful and legitimate reason to be on the premises may bring a claim for injuries resulting from dangerous conditions encountered on the property. This might be a hidden defect, neglected maintenance or injury inflicted by the owner’s pet.
Premises liability claims are not always successful. Several elements must be proven such as significant injury, a dangerous condition, and whether the owner had notice or knowledge.

The Law And The Reality Of Premises Liability
Property owners are ostensibly responsible for any injuries that happen as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on their property. However, the plaintiff has the burden of proving that the owner knew or should have known about the danger and had opportunity to address the problem before someone got hurt. This legal standard of fault can make premises liability difficult to prove.
Our Sacramento premises liability attorneys excel at developing theories of liability to hold owners accountable. We pursue damages for past and future medical care, loss of income, residual disability, and pain and suffering.
