What Is Premises Liability Claim?
Premises liability claims are common legal actions that hold property and business owners responsible for any damages arising out of an injury on that person or entity’s property. Owners that occupy a property must make a reasonable effort to maintain a safe environment for those who are legally on their premises. Failure to do so results in “premises liability.

Common situations that may give rise to premises liability claims include:

• Animal and Dog Bites
• Slip and Fall Accidents
• Dangerous Property
• Negligent or Inadequate Security
• Swimming Pool Injury
• Inadequate Maintenance
• Children on Property
• Retail Store Liability
• Restaurant Liability

Proving a Premises Liability Case
If you have been injured due to the negligent conditions on someone else’s public or private property, you may be entitled to compensation. But before you can get paid out, you need to first prove your case.

In order for you to recover compensation from a premises liability claim, your Los Angeles premises attorney will need to prove all of the following:

• The business or property owner (known as the defendant) owned, occupied, or leased the property. You must also prove that the owner, occupier, or lessee had a duty to inspect, maintain or control the property to ensure that the premises was in a reasonably safe condition based on its intended use.
• The defendant was negligent in the use of property. In other words, you need to show that the defendant failed to fulfill their duty of care by failing to warn visitors of known and latent dangers on their premises.
• You were harmed as a result of the dangerous conditions. You must show you suffered injuries.
• The defendant’s negligence was a significant factor in causing the harm. This element involves you proving that the defendant’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing your injuries. Additionally, the injuries you suffered must be reasonably foreseeable in light of the defendant’s action or inaction. In other words, the defendant’s negligence must have materially contributed to your injury, not be the sole cause of it.

Damages Available in Premises Liability Cases
Once you have proven the elements in your premises liability to the property owner’s negligence, you can recover compensation for your injuries and other losses stemming from the incident.

If you prevail, the different types of damages that you may be entitled to depending on the specific facts of your case include:

• Medical costs for past, present and future medical expenses related to the accident
• Lost wages for the time missed from work while recovering from your injuries
• Diminished earning capacity
• Disability
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Other losses

How an Experienced Los Angeles Premises Liability Attorney Can Help
Although some premises liability cases are straightforward, other claims are more complex and may require experts to review the evidence and provide proof that the incident caused the resulting injuries.

Moreover, the majority of premises liability cases involve the premise owner’s insurance carrier – that generally only cares about their own pockets and not about your injuries and losses. As such, you need an experienced Los Angeles premises liability attorney who understands premises liability law and how to properly document and argue your case.

It is important to understand that not every injury suffered on someone else’s property will give rise to a premises liability cause of action. However, if you or someone you care about suffers a serious injury because of the dangerous and negligent conditions, you may have grounds for legal action. The legal team at the Law Offices of Simon M. Aval can help determine how to best proceed with your case and vigorously pursue the maximum damages you deserve to receive for your claim.
