Experienced Premises Liability Attorneys Representing Injured Clients in Los Angeles, California

Have you been injured while on someone else's property? Slipped and fell at a grocery store? Experienced a deck collapse with you on it? Or maybe you were attacked in a parking lot with no lights or security? In any of these cases, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim.

Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on injuries a victim suffers while on someone else's property. In California, property owners have a duty to make sure their property is safe, secure and free from hazards. If they fail to do these things, and you are harmed as a result, the property owner or occupier may be held legally liable for your injuries.

We will provide you with guidance on your options to pursue recovery from the party responsible for your injuries.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims may arise in a wide variety of settings, including grocery stores, apartment complexes, shopping malls, office buildings, amusement parks, hotels, and even private homes. Our firm has experience handling a broad range of these cases, including:

• Slip-and-Fall and Trip-and-Fall Accidents: These incidents often occur due to wet floors, spilled substances, uneven flooring, loose rugs, cracked sidewalks, or poorly maintained staircases. Falls can lead to serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, or brain trauma.
• Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Pet owners have a responsibility to control their animals. If a dog attacks someone on the owner's property or in certain other situations, the owner may be held liable under California's strict liability dog bite statute.
• Inadequate Security: If a property owner fails to provide proper lighting, locks, or security personnel in areas where crimes are foreseeable, they may be liable for injuries resulting from assaults, robberies, or other criminal acts. This can be a common issue in apartment complexes, hotels, and parking garages.
• Defective Elevators or Escalators: Malfunctioning mechanical systems in commercial buildings can cause crushing injuries, falls, or entrapment. Owners and maintenance companies may share responsibility for failing to ensure that equipment is safe and operational.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Property owners must fence and secure swimming pools and comply with safety regulations. Drownings, slipping hazards, or diving accidents may result from negligence.
• Construction Site Hazards: Visitors, tenants, or customers injured due to exposed wiring, open trenches, falling debris, or unmarked hazards at a construction site may have grounds for a claim.
• Deck and Balcony Collapses: Poor construction, failure to maintain structural integrity, or overcrowding can lead to dangerous collapses that may cause catastrophic injuries.
• Falling Merchandise or Debris: Retail stores have a duty to ensure that shelving is stable and items are secured. Injuries from falling objects may indicate negligence.
• Toxic Exposure: Hazardous substances such as mold, asbestos, or chemical spills on commercial or residential property can lead to serious health conditions.
• Negligent Maintenance of Common Areas: Property owners who fail to repair lighting, secure stair railings, clear snow or ice, or maintain cleanliness may create dangerous conditions for tenants and guests.

No matter how your injury occurred, if the property owner failed to act reasonably and that failure resulted in harm, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim. At Zarabi Law, we can help you determine whether negligence played a role in your accident.

Compensation in a Premises Liability Case

At Zarabi Law, we understand that the consequences of an injury can extend far beyond the physical pain. When filing a premises liability claim, our goal is to recover compensation that reflects the full impact the incident has had on your life. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to damages such as:

• Medical Expenses: All costs related to treatment for an injury can be included in a claim, including emergency room care, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, assistive devices, and projected future medical costs.
• Lost Encome: You may receive reimbursement for wages lost during your recovery period and, in some cases, additional compensation may be paid to address diminished earning capacity.
• Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages can account for the serious pain and emotional trauma that you have experienced.
• Disfigurement or Other Permanent Disabilities: Additional damages may be awarded for visible scarring or lasting impairments.
• Punitive Damages: In cases involving gross negligence or willful misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the property owner and encourage them or others to avoid future wrongdoing.

Our attorneys will work with medical professionals, financial experts, and vocational specialists to evaluate the full extent of your damages and build a case designed to maximize your recovery.
