Premises Liability
Premises Liability
If you have been injured while on someone else’s property and believe that your injuries were preventable, you may have a premises liability claim. California law requires property owners to use reasonable care to keep their property safe for visitors.
Property owners have the responsibility to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition. If a property owner fails to maintain the property and someone is injured, then they can be held liable for the injuries and financial costs thereof.

Types of Premises Liability Claims We Handle
At Lipeles Law Group, we have experience working with victims who have been injured on private and public property. Our attorneys are familiar with California’s premises liability laws, and can assist individuals whose injuries may involve situations such as the following:
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common reasons why people file premises liability claims. Slip and fall accidents commonly occur in grocery stores, parking lots, restaurants, or sidewalks. The cause of these accidents is often because the property was not properly maintained, or that the property owner or supervisor did not warn visitors that a hazard existed.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the victim suffers a severe blow or a penetrating injury to the head. A TBI disrupts normal brain function and can result in short- or long-term brain damage. There are multiple types of accident that can cause a TBI. Some examples include slip and fall accidents, defective elevators, construction site falls, structural collapse, and automobile accidents.
Dog Bites
Did you know that California has one of the highest rates of dog bites in the United States? In 2018, there were more than 2,100 dog bite claims filed in California. Across the U.S., dog bites injure millions of people each year. California has some of the most strict laws protecting dog bite victims. These laws include strict liability provisions that may allow an injured person to pursue compensation from a dog’s owner under certain circumstances.
Owners are liable for dog bites that occur on their property, near their property, or in public. For example, if you are jogging on the road and a dog runs out of a yard and attacks you in the street, the owner may still be legally responsible for the injuries under California law.
