What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and managers responsible for certain accidents and injuries that occur on their premises. In California, property owners and managers have a duty to maintain reasonably safe premises. This means that they must take certain precautions to ensure that their property is safe for those who visit it.

Property owners and managers have a duty to:

• Regularly inspect their premises
• Repair any known hazards
• Post warnings about any known hazards
• Reasonably maintain their property
• Ensure that their property is safe for visitors

When property owners and managers fail to uphold this duty of care, they can be held liable for any resulting accidents and injuries. However, it is important to note that property owners and managers are not automatically liable for any and all accidents that occur on their premises. Instead, they are only liable for accidents that occur as a result of their negligence.

For example, a property owner may be liable for a slip and fall accident that occurs on their premises if:

• The property owner knew about the dangerous condition that caused the accident and failed to repair it
• The property owner knew about the dangerous condition that caused the accident and failed to post a warning sign
• The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition that caused the accident because a “reasonable” property owner would have discovered it and repaired it or posted a warning sign

As you can see, property owners and managers are not required to know about every single dangerous condition on their premises. However, they are required to know about and address any dangerous conditions that they either know about or should know about.

What to Do After a Premises Liability Accident

After a premises liability accident, it is important that you take the necessary steps to protect your health and your rights. If you are able to do so, you should take photos of the accident scene and write down the names and contact information of any witnesses. You should also report the accident to the property owner or manager and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

It is important that you do not give a recorded statement to the property owner’s insurance company. You should also avoid posting about the accident on social media. Insurance companies are not on your side and will do everything they can to pay you as little as possible. By working with an experienced premises liability lawyer in Los Angeles, you can level the playing field and fight for the fair recovery you are owed.
