26+ Years of Experience as a Premises Liability Attorney Serving La Verne, Ca

La Verne is a quaint college town on the Eastern edge of Los Angeles County, and like the rest of California, property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe from having dangerous conditions present. If they fail to do so and someone gets hurt, the property owner may be held liable for injuries.

What is “Premises Liability”

Premises liability refers to number of situations that create an unsafe condition on public or private property, for which the property owner is held responsible. Since 1994, attorney Eric Paris has won financial compensation for clients in a wide range of premises liability claims, including those involving:

Slip and fall accidents
Trip and fall accidents
Negligent security leading to criminal assaults
Negligent lighting
Dog bites
Collapsed ceilings
Missing handrails
Falling objects, including merchandise falling from shelves
Unsafe elevators or escalators
Electrocution
Broken stairs
Wet or slippery surfaces
Swimming pool accidents and drownings
Burns from fires and explosions
Lacerations from broken glass

Both commercial and residential property owners, (or caretakers), must maintain safe conditions on their properties. California premises liability law applies to all types of property, including apartment buildings, homes, ranches, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, malls, arenas, gyms, and parking lots.

Eric Paris Wins a $2.4 Million for Unsafe Conditions

In a recent victory, Mr. Paris represented a client who was killed when he crashed into the side of a moving train because there were no warning signs, crossing gates and the area had poor lighting and terrible visibility. The Paris Firm represented the family who brought a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family members. The railroad resisted every step of the way until they were finally forced into mediation to resolve the case.

What are the Responsibilities of a Property Owner?

According to California premises liability law, the person who owns, leases, or possesses the property has a duty to:

Use reasonable care to maintain the property in safe condition or adequately warn others if a danger exists
Use reasonable care to inspect the property to discover any unsafe conditions
Warn of the existence of any dangerous conditions or remove the danger

A property owner can still be held responsible for damages even if he or she was unaware that a dangerous condition existed.
