Premises Liability Lawyers in Fresno
What to Do If You Are Injured on Someone Else’s Property
If you are injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, you may be able to file a premises liability claim to pursue compensation for your damages. According to California law, property owners (both public and private) have a duty to fix dangerous conditions or, at the very least, warn visitors of their existence. When they fail to do so, innocent individuals can suffer serious injuries.
While many people are hesitant to file these types of claims, thinking that the accident occurred due to their own clumsiness or that it was simply an unfortunate mishap, the cost of such an accident can be immense. If a property owner acted negligently and you were injured as a result, you should not have to face the resulting consequences on your own.

Proving Negligence in Premises Liability Claims
In order to recover compensation in a premises liability claim, you must show that the owner or manager of a property acted negligently in some way. Typically, this involves showing that a dangerous condition of some sort existed and that the property owner knew of (or should have known of) the condition, yet did nothing to address the condition or warn you of its existence. You must also show that you were legally on the property at the time of the incident and that the property owner’s negligence directly or indirectly led to the accident. Additionally, you must prove that this accident was the cause of your injuries.
Common examples of dangerous property conditions include:
- Ripped or torn carpeting
- Uneven flooring
- Unsafe stairwells
- Lack of adequate safety railing
- Insufficient lighting
- Accumulated ice or snow
- Pooled water
- Negligent security
- Unrestrained animals
- Lack of proper signage
- Defective sidewalks
- Unmarked hazards
- Fallen merchandise from store shelves
- Violation of local building/fire codes
- Unsafe swimming pools
