If you go onto an individual or company’s property and become injured on that property, you may be able to hold that property holder liable for your accident. Under the theory of premise liability, if the owner of the property doesn’t maintain the premises effectively, a visitor can collect damages for their injury.
Elements of a Premise Liability Case
All property owners in California owe a duty to visitors to keep them safe from harm by keeping up their property. The owners or occupiers of the property must take reasonable measures to help ensure safety. However, the extent of this duty may depend on different circumstances.
