Pasadena Slip & Fall Accident & Injury Attorneys
Premises Liability
When a person is injured on someone else’s property, if the property owner’s negligence is responsible for the injury, they can be held liable for damages. Premises liability actions typically involve “slip and fall” accidents, but can include other types of accidents such as dog bites or construction accidents. Any injury caused by the negligent or willful conduct of a third party on the premises can be considered grounds for a premises liability claim. In order to determine who is liable in a premises liability action, three crucial elements are involved: ownership, possession, & control of the premises. The person who owns, possesses, or controls the premises is the one responsible for any injuries arising from a condition on the premises, and this is who will be responsible for paying compensation to the injured victim.
Premises liability actions are often taken in relation to accidents involving the following:
- Poorly maintained properties and grounds
- Broken and/or uneven pavement
- Unsafe conditions caused by construction or renovation
- Employee negligence, failure to follow proper procedure
- Lack of property security
- Lack of proper lighting
- Falling merchandise from store shelves, falling debris from construction
- Any unsafe or dangerous condition
