Los Angeles & Van Nuys Premises Liability Attorney

What are premises liability injuries?
Premises liability generally refers to accidents that occur due to negligent maintenance or unsafe or dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Many states have laws that generally require landowners to maintain their property in a manner that does not cause injury to those that, for various reasons, visit the property. Often, these laws pertain to both business owners and homeowners.

The legal theory of "premises liability" holds owners and occupiers of property legally responsible for accidents and injuries that occur on their property. The kinds of incidents that give rise to premises liability claims can range from a slip and fall on a public sidewalk, to an injury suffered on an amusement park ride.

The liability of property owners and occupiers will vary depending on the legal rules and principles in place in the state where the injury occurred. In some states, the court will focus on the degree of injury when determining the liability of the owner or occupier. In other states, the focus will be on the condition of the property and the activities of both the owner and visitor.
