What is a Premises Liability Claim?

Premises liability is the area of law that allows individuals who have been injured in accidents caused by unreasonably dangerous conditions on the property of others to recover for their losses. These kinds of hazards that can result in a serious accident vary, as can the types of accidents themselves. Similarly, premises liability cases can arise when visiting any type of property, including a private residence, a grocery store, a restaurant, a school, or a government building.

It is critical for victims to understand that when they are injured in any of these types of incidents as a result of the property owner’s negligence, they may be able to recover compensation by filing a premises liability claim. These types of legal actions are often complicated and require the assistance of an experienced Orange County premises liability attorney.

Proving a Premises Liability Claim

The two key elements you need to prove in a premises liability claim are the presence of a dangerous condition, and whether the property owner had knowledge of the dangerous condition. In order to establish the first element of a premises liability claim, you and your attorney need to provide sufficient evidence of the dangerous condition. This can be done through photographs, reliable testimony, and other types of evidence.

Proving that a property owner had knowledge of a dangerous condition can be more challenging. In general, property owners cannot be legally responsible if they were not aware of the dangerous condition. As such, it is important to have an experienced premises liability attorney who understands the subtleties required to legally prove that the owner was indeed aware of the dangerous condition.

The Irvine lawyers at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas have been representing victims in premises liability claims for decades. The Orange County premises liability attorneys are passionate and aggressive in seeking the full compensation that our clients deserve.
