When a person is injured on another's property due to conditions on
that property, then that victim may have grounds to file a premises liability
claim. These cases are sometimes synonymous with "slip and fall"
cases, but the truth is nearly any kind of injury can be addressed in
a premises liability claim, depending on the circumstances. As long as
certain requirements are met, owners and managers can be held liable for
injuries that occur on their property.

Requirements to File a Premises Liability Claim
California premises liability law largely resolves around a concept known
as "duty of care." Duty of care is the responsibility of safety
a property owner has for visitors of the property. This varies depending
on the circumstances of the incident. For instance, a store owner may
owe duty of care to a customer during regular business hours, but not
to a trespasser who has broken into the premises after hours.
In a premises liability, an injury victim must prove:
- The property owner owed them duty of care.
- There was a breach of that duty of care by the owner.
- That the breach directly lead to the injury.
In these cases, the burden of proof lies with the injured victim—and
at The Law Office of Michael R. Loewen, our Sacramento personal injury
attorneys are ready to help you bear that burden. We can help you document
the conditions that led to your injury, structure your suit, and soundly
and thoroughly pursue the compensation you deserve.
