If you were injured on someone else’s property, you are probably facing several unexpected bills. Upfront medical costs can make you feel like you’re drowning. Add on missed shifts and lost paychecks, and you can start to feel like you’re never going to get out of this financial hole. Yet, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden of an injury caused by someone else’s negligence.
Whether you are facing a private homeowner or a major corporation, our injury lawyers are prepared to build your case and hold the appropriate party accountable. A Fresno premises liability lawyer from our firm can serve as your representative throughout your case and stand up against those who caused your injury.
Types of Damages in a Premises Liability Case
You may be able to recover the following types of damages in a California premises liability case:
- Medical expenses: This includes costs for your current and future medical care, including surgeries, emergency room treatment, doctor’s appointments, medicine, and more.
- Income loss: If you were forced to take time off work because you needed to heal from your injuries, you may be able to recover the wages you lost. We can also calculate the difference in salary if your injuries forced you to be demoted, become less productive, or leave your field of work altogether.
- Pain and suffering: Physical, emotional, and mental pain are less visible but significant losses. To determine a settlement value, we also factor in how your injuries affect you, including changes in your appearance or enjoyment of life.
If a loved one lost their life in an accident that occurred on someone else’s property, you may be able to file a wrongful death action to help you recover similar damages, such as the cost of funeral arrangements or loss of financial support from your loved one.
What Type of Accidents Fall Under Premises Liability Law?
Premises liability cases fall under personal injury law. These cases center around injuries caused by negligent property owners or managers, whether through their actions or inactions.
As such, liable parties can vary based on the type of accident that occurred. Common premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Dog bites
- Window or stairway falls
- Construction site civilian injuries
- Attacks or injuries resulting from poor security measures
- Drowning or injury from unguarded swimming pools
- Fires, flooding, or leaks from bad building construction
- Toxic leaks or fumes resulting in illness
Whether you were injured on an amusement park ride or in your neighbor’s backyard, our team will work to identify the appropriate liable party or parties.
Are Property Owners Always Liable for People Injured on Their Property?

Property owners have a “duty of care” to guests and licensees on their property. If there are hazardous conditions on their premises, they must post warning signs and attempt to remedy the hazards in good time. Even trespassers are owed a duty of care from property owners, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining safe premises at all times.
However, certain exceptions do apply that can protect the owner from liability. You may want to consult with a premises liability lawyer to discuss the details of your situation and assess liability.

Is There a Legal Deadline for Premises Liability Cases in California?
Per the Code of Civil Procedure CCP § 335.1, all premises liability cases must abide by the personal injury statutory deadline. Plaintiffs have a two-year filing period to submit their case from the date of the accident.
The same statute dictates that if you are filing a wrongful death action, the filing period begins on the date of the victim’s death.
