Premises Liability in California

Talk to an Experienced Premises Liability Attorney

At The Law Office of Madison L. Burga, we understand an injury from a premises liability case can turn your life upside down. Hiring a California attorney for a premises liability claim is crucial because California law has specific rules that can be complex to navigate. An experienced attorney understands the nuances of state laws, including the responsibilities of property owners, liability standards, and time limits for filing claims. They can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for fair compensation. With a skilled attorney, you improve your chances of a successful outcome and ensure your rights are protected throughout the legal process.

Critical Steps Following a Slip & Fall

After a fall, it can be difficult to orient yourself. However here are some steps that you can take today: 

      • Seek Immediate Medical Attention: 
        Even if injuries aren’t immediately visible, it’s essential to get checked out. Injuries may worsen over time, so prompt treatment and documentation are vital to documenting your case and preserving your well-being. 
      • Document Everything:
        If possible, take photos of the area surrounding the fall. Try to document if there were any spills or foreign objects laying around. Ask the facility/store owner to make a formal report. Remember,  don’t forget to take pictures of any visible injuries you may have. 
      • Gather Information:
        Collect contact information from the store manager and ask for a copy of the incident report. Save all contact information from any witnesses.  
      • Limit Communication with Insurers:
        Avoid discussing your claim with the insurance company. Contact Madison Burga or another lawyer before answering questions.  The insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or even put you at fault. 
      • Contact Madison Burga:
        Retaining an attorney right away can make a significant difference. We handle communication with insurance companies and ensure all evidence is preserved.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

There are many different types of premises liability cases. Some common ones include: 

  • Slip and Fall Accidents:
    Wet floors, icy sidewalks, foreign objects, hidden defects, or uneven surfaces can cause people to slip, trip, or fall.  
  • Swimming Pool Accidents:
    Lack of safety measures such as pool barriers, insufficient signage, or inadequate supervision.
  • Dog Bites or Animal Attacks:
    Property owners’ failure to properly restrain dangerous animals.
  • Negligent Maintenance:
    Failure to repair hazardous conditions, such as broken stairs, cracked walkways, or faulty handrails.
