Premises Liability

Premises liability is a broad legal term that refers to liability for dangerous conditions of property. Under premises liability laws, property owners may be held financially responsible for accidents or injuries that occur on their property due to their negligence. In California, premises liability cases can encompass a broad spectrum of issues, from uniform building code violations to improper maintenance or management. It can also involve defective design or construction that leads to injury or death on public or private property.
