INJURED ON PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PROPERTY? CALL US TO SEE
IF YOU HAVE A CASE
BUSINESSES HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
Under California Law, owners and occupiers of property have a general duty to
protect the people who come on their property from dangerous conditions.
Usually, an owner can satisfy this duty by either fixing the dangerous condition or
warning people of its presence. If the dangerous condition is obvious, however,
owners do not have a duty to warn.
A prime example of this duty is seen in a recent case where an older woman
entered into a gift store to buy a present for her daughter. There was an
underground stairway hatch that was left open. The entrance of the stairway
basically looked like a large hole in the ground and was hidden behind a display
case. When the woman passed the display case, she fell into the open hatch,
falling a total of one story. In this example the store owner had a clear duty to
protect customers from the dangerous condition, by closing the hatch or warning
people of its presence.
In premises liability cases, like the one above, owners insurance companies do
anything they can not to pay what is due. They put up long and costly legal
battles to drain the injured plaintiffs. Fortunately, because of our extensive
experience with these cases we put up an even greater fight. We hire the best
experts and accident re-constructionists and take all means necessary to get our
clients the best settlement possible.
CASES AGAINST THE CITY
Premises Liability lawsuits are also common when the person is injured on public
property. These cases are more complicated because the duty a city or county
owes to a person walking its streets or driving its highways is a bit different.
Mainly, the injured person must show that the condition was dangerous and that
the city had actual notice of it, or that it existed for a long time. The most
common examples include, falls from defective sidewalks and car crashes from
potholes or unsafe street design.
Because of our extensive experience in getting compensation for people injured
on public property, we know how to deal with city attorneys, we know which
experts to hire, we know how to prove your case, and we know how to get you
compensated.If you have been injured because of a defective condition, whether
it was on public or private property, we would love to talk to you. Give us a call
for a free consultation and well let you know whether you have a case. If we
decide to take your case, you might receive substantial compensation for your
injuries.
