Premises Liability Law In California

Slip and fall accidents fall under the area of law known as premises liability. The essential factual elements needed to establish a premises liability claim in California are established by CACI No. 1000. It states the following must be proven to establish a premises liability claim:

• The defendant owned, leased, occupied or controlled the property
• The defendant negligently used or maintained the property
• The plaintiff was harmed
• The defendant’s negligence substantially caused harm to the plaintiff

Negligence, in terms of premises liability claims, is established by CACI No. 1001 in California. It defines negligence in terms of premises liability as failing to use reasonable care to keep one’s property in a reasonably safe condition. It states that people who own, lease, occupy or control property need to use reasonable care to find and repair, replace or warn about unsafe conditions which can reasonably be expected to harm others. It mentions many factors which can be considered when determining if a defendant used reasonable care, including:

• Property location
• Likelihood of someone entering property like the plaintiff did
• Likelihood of harm
• Probable seriousness of harm
• If the defendant knew or should have known about the unsafe condition
• How difficult it is to protect against the risk of harm
• The extent of the defendant’s control over the unsafe condition

Slip and fall accidents are often the result of an unsafe condition. CACI No. 1003 Unsafe Conditions states that a defendant is negligent in the maintenance or use of their property if:

• An unsafe condition existed on the property
• The defendant knew or should have known about the unsafe condition
• The defendant failed to fix the unsafe condition, protect against the condition harming others or warn about the condition

We can obtain a slip and fall accident recovery for you by proving that your slip and fall accident was the result of an unsafe condition and someone else’s negligence.

Do I Need A Slip And Fall Lawyer?

You need an experienced slip and fall lawyer if you want to be fairly compensated for your injuries.

Your primary opponents in terms of obtaining a slip and fall recovery are the insurance adjusters representing the property your accident happened on. Insurance adjusters have only their company’s profits in mind when they present you with an offer. They will not respect you if you don’t have a lawyer, so they won’t offer you a fair settlement if you don’t have a lawyer. They will offer you a fraction of what you are entitled to and dare you to take them to court, since they know you won’t be able to win in court without a lawyer.

To make things worse, those same adjusters are experts at manipulating you into accidentally incriminating yourself in terms of your own fault for a slip and fall accident, even if it wasn’t your fault! It is very dangerous for you to talk to the insurance adjusters for this reason. Luckily, the experienced Fresno slip and fall lawyers at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers are here to help. We’ll deal with the insurance companies for you so all you need to do is recover from your injuries.
