Understanding Premises Liability and Your Right to Safety in California

When you visit a store, restaurant, or apartment complex, you expect it to be safe. But too often, negligence by property owners leads to dangerous conditions that cause serious injuries — from slips and falls to catastrophic spinal or head trauma.

At California Trial Law Group, we believe that every property owner, landlord, and business has a duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors. When they fail to do so, victims have the right to seek justice and compensation under California’s premises liability laws.

Attorney Ike Kaludi and his legal team have successfully represented countless Californians injured because of unsafe premises. Whether you were hurt in a store, parking lot, office building, or rental property, our firm is here to protect your rights and fight for your recovery.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal principle that holds property owners responsible for injuries caused by unsafe or hazardous conditions on their property. These cases can arise anywhere — from private homes and retail stores to public sidewalks and construction sites.

Common examples include:

• Slip and fall accidents due to wet floors or uneven surfaces
• Falling objects in retail stores or warehouses
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Inadequate security leading to assaults or theft
• Broken railings or defective stairs
• Dog bites or animal attacks

If an owner or manager knew (or should have known) about a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn about it, they can be held legally liable for resulting injuries.

Premises Liability in California

Understanding premises liability in California and how California Trial Law Group PC protects injured victims is key to asserting your rights. State law requires that property owners take “reasonable care” to maintain safety. This includes regular inspections, timely repairs, and proper signage warning of temporary hazards.

When a property owner fails to uphold this duty, and someone gets hurt, California law allows the injured person to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Our firm thoroughly investigates every case — visiting the accident site, reviewing maintenance records, interviewing witnesses, and consulting safety experts to build the strongest possible claim.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Premises liability cases can involve several parties, including:

• Property owners or landlords
• Tenants or business operators
• Maintenance companies
• Security providers
• Property management firms

Each party may share responsibility depending on their role in creating or ignoring the unsafe condition. At California Trial Law Group, we ensure that every negligent party is held accountable, maximizing your potential compensation.

Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases

Injuries sustained on unsafe property can range from mild to catastrophic. Some of the most common include:

• Fractures and broken bones
• Back, neck, or spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Lacerations and burns
• Chronic pain or mobility issues

These injuries often require long-term care, physical therapy, and time off work. We fight to ensure that victims are compensated not only for immediate medical costs but also for future rehabilitation and financial losses.

Our firm is dedicated to holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions that harm innocent people. Property owners cannot simply ignore hazards, shift blame to victims, or claim they “didn’t know” about dangerous conditions.

California Trial Law Group has extensive experience proving negligence in these cases. We use photographs, incident reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to show that injuries were preventable — and that the property owner failed in their duty of care.
