What is Premises Liability Law?
Premises liability law holds property owners and managers responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If they knew, or reasonably should have known, about a hazardous condition and failed to address it, they may be liable for resulting injuries.
To prove a premises liability claim in California, we must establish:
- The property owner was aware (or should have been aware) of a hazard.
- They failed to repair the hazard or provide proper warnings.
- This negligence directly caused your injury.
Our firm has decades of experience proving liability and securing compensation for accident victims throughout Orange County.
Types of Premises Liability Accidents
At William D. Shapiro Law, Inc., we’ve represented clients injured in accidents at grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls, apartment complexes, schools, and public areas across Southern California.
Common types of premises liability accidents include:
● Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet floors, uneven sidewalks, loose carpeting, broken stairs, or poorly lit areas can cause dangerous slip and fall accidents. These incidents often lead to severe injuries such as fractures, back injuries, and head trauma.
● Dog Bites
In California, dog owners are strictly liable if their pet bites someone, even if the dog had no history of aggression. Victims may face physical scarring, infections, and emotional trauma.
● Negligent Security
Property owners must provide adequate security in areas where criminal activity is foreseeable, such as parking structures, apartment complexes, and entertainment venues. Failure to hire security personnel, install lighting, or maintain surveillance systems can make them liable for assaults or other crimes that occur on their property.

Time is Critical in Premises Liability Cases
California law imposes strict deadlines for filing premises liability claims. Delays can cause critical evidence, such as surveillance footage, maintenance logs, or witness testimony, to be lost. In some cases, you may have only months to take action. Contacting an attorney immediately ensures your rights are protected.
