PREMISES LIABILITY

Premises Accident Injury Lawyer, Stockton CA

Stockton Accident Lawyer

If you were injured on someone’s property due to unsafe conditions, you may want to seek the assistance of a personal Stockton accident lawyer. As is the case with most property, the owner is responsible for occurrences (which include injuries) on that property. Property related injuries are tricky, but expert attorneys can help.

Premises Liability makes owners liable for certain accidents or injuries that occur on their property. Three different types of visitors, invitee (someone who has been invited to a property), social guests (welcome visitors to a property), and licensees (someone who enters a property for their purposes but is present with consent of the owner), have a right to safety while on a property. These protections are not extended to trespassers, who are present at a property without consent. These hazards can be present at a home, workspace or other premises, and can include, but are not limited to:

  • Unsafe stairways and stairwells, including rotted or eroded steps
  • Trip-and-fall hazards
  • Slip-and-fall hazards
  • Risk of falling objects
  • Animal injury risks
  • Poor lighting
  • Malfunctioning elevators
  • Faulty railings
  • Unsafe windows

These cases require a clear explanation of the facts of the incident, so if you believe you have been involved in such a case, it is best to seek the advice of a Stockton accident lawyer. The collection of evidence and legal processes are complicated in California, and you want the best attorney on your side to help you through it. The longer you wait, the less opportunity you will have to bring forth a compelling case with the law on your side. The reasonableness of a case is determined by these factors, so you may want to begin to clarify these questions:

  • Why did you enter the property?
  • What is the property used for?
  • Could anyone have foreseen this injury?
  • Were you warned about possible injury hazards by the owner?

If you’ve been the victim of a crime on a property, you may have grounds to seek an inadequate security lawsuit with a qualified Stockton accident lawyer. These claims can be made for almost any property, and are not limited to apartment buildings, stadiums, or shopping malls. Many locations in this category are public. You should be able to accomplish your goals, be they shopping, visiting friends, or watching a sporting event, free of injury, and without being the victim of a crime.
