Premises Liability
Holding property owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises
Premises Liability Attorney In Los Angeles
What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners have a legal duty to promptly fix any unsafe conditions present on their premises that could potentially cause harm to visitors or customers. This duty of care is particularly important in various settings; for instance, a slip and fall incident on a wet restaurant floor can lead to serious injuries, as can a poorly secured fixture that falls onto a hotel guest unexpectedly. In such scenarios, the property owner may be held legally responsible for the resulting harm and injuries sustained by individuals on their property.
This responsibility is grounded in the legal principle that property owners owe their guests a reasonable duty of care, which includes taking necessary precautions to identify and rectify hazards before they result in injury. This obligation not only ensures the safety of visitors but also protects property owners from potential liability claims arising from negligence.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
When a property owner fails to correct a dangerous condition within a reasonable amount of time, they may be held responsible for injuries that occur as a result. Hazards such as poor lighting, blocked walkways, torn carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and uneven steps should all be repaired before guests are allowed onto the premises. Slippery floors can also lead to serious accidents.
However, if a property owner had no reasonable way of knowing about the hazard—for example, if another customer caused a spill and didn’t report it—the owner may not be held liable. This is why it’s important to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Understanding the circumstances and gathering evidence early can make a significant difference in your case.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
The first step after a premises-related injury is to seek medical attention right away. Keep all records related to your treatment, as they can play an important role in your case. If you are able, return to the scene of the accident to take photos of the conditions that caused your injury. If you can’t do this yourself, ask someone you trust to document it for you.
If your injury occurred at a business or other organization’s property, complete a written incident report—but always keep a copy for your own records. Because premises liability cases can be complex, it’s important to contact an attorney who handles these types of claims so you can understand your rights and improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. Anthony Choe can guide you through the process and help you determine the best way forward. Contact Law Offices of Anthony Choe today to discuss your situation.
