Your Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego for Premise Liability
Premise liability cases surround the duty of care that is the responsibility of a property owner. When you are in their building, the owners are accountable for providing you with a reasonable degree of care. If the owner is negligent in keeping things safe and you sustain an injury as a result, you are due compensation for any losses.
Premises Liability Categories
There are many locations on a property that need to be well-cared for to ensure a guest experiences no harm. Here are a few examples.
- Trip hazards – From a freshly mopped floor with no wet floor sign to bunched carpeting that should have been replaced ages ago to broken sidewalks, there are plenty of trip hazards that result from negligence.
- Dog attacks – If the property owner has a dog, anyone lawfully on the premises needs to be kept safe. Even if the dog has never been aggressive in the past, the owner can be liable from the first bite.
- Swimming pools – Access to a swimming pool needs to be restricted so that someone can’t wander and fall in by accident. There also must be appropriate signage that warns of the risk of using the pool, especially if there is no lifeguard on duty.
- Escalators, elevators, and stairs – Changing floors within a building can lead to injuries in various ways. The building owner needs to keep all of these means of changing levels in excellent condition to keep visitors safe
