Premises Liability Attorney—Los Angeles, CA

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility and duty that property owners, tenants, and/or businesses may have for injuries that occur on properties they own or control, due to unsafe and dangerous conditions. Premises liability law is based on the idea that property owners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition for those who enter it. However, property owners exposure to liability is not unlimited and a reasonable person standard of care is applicable under California law. Businesses can face claims for injuries allegedly caused by dangerous and/or unsafe conditions such as wet floors, poor lighting, uneven surfaces, inadequate maintenance, or lack of security. These claims can result in significant financial exposure and reputational harm if not handled properly.
