PRACTICE AREAS
Premises Liability
When a tenant, visitor, or guest is injured due to the failure of the property owner or manager to live up to safety standards and regulations, they may be found responsible for any damages that have occurred and befallen the person.
Property owners, property management groups, and landlords have the legal responsibility to uphold local, state, and federal laws regarding premise safety and standards. However, not all do and, in the instance of this negligence, you or someone you know may be due for compensation.
As the top premises liability lawyers in Los Angeles, Sedaghat Law Group has won many cases in this area. We are confident we can take your case all the way and pursue justice for any negligence and wrongdoing.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability falls under personal injury law. It occurs when someone is injured on someone else’s property directly from a negligent act. There are some key parts to these cases.
- You or someone you care for, as the plaintiff, is injured on someone’s property.
- There is an owner, landlord, or property management group, as the defendant.
- The owner failed to meet local, state, and/or federal safety regulations and rules. The owner failed to fix a dangerous condition that broke these safety regulations that they knew about.
- The defendant was injured in an instance directly related to these unsafe conditions.
These are the bare bones regarding premises liability. If your situation meets all four of these, there’s a high probability that you have a case. If you are unsure, send us an email or a phone call. Sedaghat Law Group offers free consultations to evaluate the grounds of your case!
Common Premises Liability
Injuries & Claims
An injury on someone’s premises can lead from minor to major injuries. A seemingly simple slip and fall can have serious broken bones and even concussions.
- Slip and Fall: Slips and falls can occur on a variety of surfaces where there is little or no warning or protection.
- Staircase Accidents: Staircase falls can be very dangerous. If it’s poorly lit, too steep, or doesn’t have a handrail, it could be unsafe and not meet regulations.
- Obstructed Walkways: Divots, potholes, or anything in the way that impedes the flow of foot traffic—that the owner or property manager is aware of—can be injurious to bystanders.
- Handrail/Guardrail Accidents: Whether it was poorly maintained or not there at all, people have fallen and incurred serious injuries.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Unmarked depths, obstructions in the pool, murky water, and blocked drainage are just some of the items that could impact your pool experience in a negative way.
While this list is comprehensive, it may not cover your case and injury. Reach out to Sedaghat Law Group for an evaluation. Our consultations are free and we are available 24/7 to take your case.
