Risks of Getting Injured are Everywhere

Some activities have inevitable risks, such as driving a car or riding a roller coaster. 

But what if you sustain an injury while visiting a beauty salon, buying groceries, or taking your kids to the park? Getting injured is likely the last thing to expect in these places, or things are not as risky as driving a car.

But accidents do happen, especially when they are least expected. Maybe you’ll have a slip and fall accident while walking on a wet floor. Maybe you’ll get a dog bite. While even a minor injury can lead to substantial medical expenses, not everyone knows where to turn for compensation.

Don’t worry! 

We are here to represent your legal rights and help you get compensated for your injuries. Get in touch now to learn more about your legal rights, the value of your claim, and how we can help. 

UNDERSTANDING WHAT CAN BE COVERED UNDER THE PREMISES LIABILITY UMBRELLA

The claim made under premises liability varies based on the situation and accident type. We can help you if you have sustained injuries from the incidents listed below:

ANIMAL ASSAULTS AND DOG BITES:

Don’t assume that because you were attacked while on someone else’s property, the owner of that property is not responsible for any injuries you sustain as a consequence of a dog bite. A dog can undoubtedly be categorized as a “hazardous condition” on a property. Depending on the circumstance, it may have been appropriate for a property owner to leash their dog to prevent an attack. 

ELEVATOR AND ESCALATOR ACCIDENTS 

Elevators and escalators are used in most establishments and structures to move people around. Elevators and escalators do, however, occasionally experience major accidents or glitches. If they do, the property owner, or manager, may be held accountable.

CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES:

You may be able to file a claim for negligent security against the property owner where the incident occurred if you suffer harm due to a crime such as assault, sexual assault, battery, or other criminal conduct.

An example of a premises liability claim is a negligent security suit, which maintains that the property owner was negligent in failing to provide adequate security for the premises and that the criminal conduct (and your injuries) directly resulted from that failure. 

FALLS ON THE SIDEWALK OR IN A PARKING LOT:

Slip and fall accidents are common due to various sidewalk and parking lot hazards, including ice and snow in some regions, as well as cracks, depressions, and other risks. The owner of the property, who is in charge of maintaining the sidewalk or parking lot, may be held accountable when someone is hurt in a slip and fall accident.

ACCIDENTS INVOLVING SWIMMING POOLS AND WATER:

Accidents involving swimming pools and water, such as drowning and near-drowning, can be disastrous, causing severe injury to the victim. The property owner may be held accountable if the accident could have been prevented (i.e. there was a hazardous condition or inadequate supervision). 

MISHAPS AT CONSTRUCTION SITES:

Construction sites can be hazardous locations where heavy machinery, inadequate scaffolding, and other factors can cause serious accidents. Injured pedestrians and construction employees may bring a third-party liability lawsuit against the party at fault.

MISHAPS IN AMUSEMENT PARKS:

California is renowned for its theme parks, the most well-known of which are Disneyland, Six Flags, LEGOLAND, and others. While these parks may provide a fun-filled day in the sun, mishaps such as ride-related, slip-and-fall, and water-related incidents are common.

The aforementioned are just a few examples of the several premises liability claim types; however, any accident that takes place on another party’s property may be grounds for a claim.

This means that any owner of the property, including 

• Private homeowners
• Small-and medium-sized business owners
• Owners of recreational properties
• Owners of AirBnB or other vacation rental properties
• Owners of apartments, condos, and housing developments
• Government agencies in charge of public spaces like parks and post offices may be named in a lawsuit.
