Riverside Premises Liability Attorneys

If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, you could have a premises liability claim against them. Property owners, both residential and commercial, are legally obligated to keep their property in a reasonably safe state. Failure to do so can make them liable for any injuries that visitors suffer.

Whether your injury occurred in someone’s home, in a store or restaurant, or at another commercial location, it’s important to know your rights and assert them.

Who is Covered by Premises Liability Cases?

Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that relates to claims arising from injury on another person’s property. Property owners have different levels of responsibility to various individuals, depending on why they are there. Invitees, for example, have a property owner’s express or implied consent to be on the property. They are those who are on the property for the benefit of the property owner. Customers at a store or members of the public visiting a park are invitees. Landowners owe the highest duty of care to invitees. Licensees include those who are present for a social purpose. The duty of care is slightly lower for licensees, but landowners are still required to tell licensees of hidden dangers. Property owners do not have a specific duty of care to trespassers. However, they cannot intentionally set up traps or hazards to harm them.

Common Causes of Premises Liability Claims

There are many sources of premises liability claims. Any time someone is injured on someone else’s property, there’s potentially a claim to be investigated. Some causes of premises liability claims include:

• Dog bites
• Injuries caused by inadequate lighting
• Preventable fires
• Collapsed ceilings
• Falling objects
• Broken or slippery stairways
• Slippery walkways
• Uneven walkways
• Unsafe handrails
• Amusement park injuries
• Indoor trampoline park injuries
• Injuries caused by trampolines and swimming pools
• Obstacles that cause trips and falls

Important Evidence for Your Case

Evidence is a crucial part of any personal injury claim. In order to receive full and fair compensation for your injuries, you’ll need to prove that someone’s negligence caused you harm. Luckily, many types of evidence can build and strengthen your premises liability claim:

• Proof of the accident: If the place in question has surveillance cameras, your accident may have been captured on camera. Your premises liability attorney can move to secure the footage immediately before it is erased.
• Incident Reports: Depending on the parties involved, there may be incident reports and/or reports from reporting agencies on the scene.
• Medical records: Proving the extent of your injuries is important if you want compensation for your medical bills. Keep track of your test results, treatment reports, prescriptions, and anything else showing the care you’ve received.
• Pictures of the scene: This is incredibly important. Whether you were injured by a wet floor, crumbling staircase, flickering light, or collapsed ceiling, take pictures of the scene before you leave. The scene will almost certainly be cleaned up by the time you return to it, so gather any evidence you need before you leave.
• Maintenance logs: If your injury occurred on a commercial property, it’s likely that they keep maintenance logs. These records can be helpful when proving that part of the property was poorly maintained or unkempt. Your premises liability attorney will likely need to reach out for these directly.
