Premises liability is the legal concept that an owner is responsible for what occurs on their property. That means that, when a rightfully present visitor suffers an injury, the owner may be liable for the losses suffered.

What Types of Recoverable Damages Can I Receive?
Victims of a premises liability accident have the right to seek compensation for the injuries they sustain. These accidents often include dog bites, swimming pool accidents, negligent security, and slip and fall matters. Your injuries and losses will differ from those of others. Some of the most common recoverable damages we see include:
- Medical bills associated with the injury and emergency care you need, including hospitalization and surgeries
- Future medical costs and rehabilitation-related costs
- Out-of-pocket costs for transportation and medical equipment
- Loss of income from missing work due to your injuries, including loss of bonuses or benefits
- Pain and suffering for the encounter and what it put you through
- Loss of earning capacity if you can no longer go back to the same job
- Mental anguish due to the onset of conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder
- Modification costs to your home
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of quality of life
Victims may also have additional losses if their injuries are catastrophic. In each situation, we strive to hold those who hurt you fully accountable by fully investigating your case. We will find the evidence necessary to build a strong claim for you. Do not settle your case with the insurance company until you speak to us about your losses.
How Long Do I Have To File a Premises Liability Claim?
You have the right to file a premises liability claim after you suffer an injury due to negligence. Under the California statute of limitations, you have just two years from the date the accident occurred to take the case to court. If you wait beyond this timeframe, you will not be able to seek compensation.
Most of the time, filing a liability claim is the first step. That is done outside of court through the negotiations between your attorney and the at-fault party’s insurance company. If negotiations fail, going to court becomes necessary.
