PREMISES LIABILITY ATTORNEY

California Premises Liability

In California, property owners, managers, and maintenance teams are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe. If they fail to repair hazards—like broken stairs, wet floors, or icy walkways—they may be held liable for resulting injuries such as slip or trip and falls.
Under California law, owners must either fix dangers or warn others about them. Those injured due to negligence can pursue compensation. At A1 Accident Lawyer, our Anaheim-based team helps victims understand their rights and explore legal options. Call (714) 535-5090 for a free consultation.

Who is Responsible for Premises Liability>

Responsibility depends on the visitor’s status:

• Invitees (e.g., store customers): Property owners owe the highest duty of care and must maintain a safe environment.
• Licensees(e.g., social guests): Owners must warn of known dangers.
• TrespassersOwners generally owe no duty—unless they knew others might enter the property.

If unsafe conditions caused your injury, we’re here to help you seek justice.

• Invitees – Property owners who run a business are strictly liable for maintaining a safe environment for potential customers and visitors. Businesses must actively prevent or repair dangerous conditions in a timely manner or give clear warnings to protect against accidents.
• Social Licensees – Social guests and visitors who have permission to enter a public property, but who are not there for business purposes can still hold the property owner responsible for accidents that occur due to unsafe conditions.
• Trespassers – Property owners do not have a responsibility to fix dangerous conditions or provide warnings for the sake of potential trespassers. Unless the property owner has reason to believe that other people might enter the property without permission, he or she may not be liable for accident injuries that occur to trespassers.
