Premises Liability
When people think of “premises liability,” they often imagine a simple slip and fall accident, but the law actually covers a wide range of injuries caused by unsafe or poorly maintained property. If a business, landlord, or property owner fails to keep their premises safe, and someone gets hurt because of it, they can be held responsible for damages.
At the Law Offices of Chance Pardon, our personal injury attorneys are experienced to handle the most complex of premises liability cases and have the resources, knowledge, and determination to fight for the compensation you need to rebuild your life. When you work with us, you are not just another case. You are a person who deserves our full attention, respect, and relentless advocacy.
Types of Premises Liability Cases in California
We handle all types of premises liability cases, including those involving:
Slip or Trip and Falls
These are the most frequent claims and happen when someone slips on a wet floor, trips over uneven pavement, or falls because of clutter, poor lighting, or damaged flooring. Even a small hazard can cause serious injuries.
Unsafe Buildings and Walkways
Broken stairs, loose railings, or uneven sidewalks can lead to dangerous falls. Property owners must regularly inspect and repair these areas to prevent accidents.
Negligent Security
Apartment buildings, parking lots, and shopping centers must provide reasonable security. When poor lighting, broken locks, or lack of security staff lead to an assault or robbery, the property owner can be held responsible.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
If a property owner or landlord knows a dog is aggressive and fails to warn or restrain it, they can be liable for resulting injuries.
Pool and Drowning Accidents
Pool owners must have secure fences, working gates, and proper supervision. Slippery decks, missing signage, or poor maintenance can all cause serious or fatal injuries.
Falling Objects and Store Hazards
Retailers and warehouses must safely stack and secure merchandise. When items fall from shelves or displays and injure a customer, that’s a preventable hazard.
Fire, Electrical, or Chemical Hazards
Fires, gas leaks, electrical shocks, or toxic exposure from mold or chemicals can result from poor maintenance or ignored safety warnings.
Why These Cases Matter
All of these situations share one rule: if a property owner knew or should have known about a danger and failed to fix it or warn people, they can be held responsible for the harm caused.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in California?
First, make sure you’re safe and get medical attention immediately. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important to be checked by a doctor since pain and swelling can appear hours or even days later.
Next, report the accident to the business or property owner and ask that an incident report be written. If you can, take photos of the exact area where you fell, what caused it, and any visible injuries. Try to capture details like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or missing warning signs.
If anyone witnessed your fall, ask for their names and contact information so your attorney can reach out later.
Finally, contact a local California slip and fall attorney, like Chance the Lawyer, as soon as possible. A lawyer familiar with local businesses, insurance companies, and the courts can help protect your rights, gather crucial evidence, and handle communication while you focus on healing.
How do I know if the property owner was at fault?
In most cases, fault depends on whether the owner or manager knew about a dangerous condition or should have known about it but failed to fix it or warn visitors. For example, if a Seal Beach store knew a cooler was leaking for days and did nothing, they may be responsible if someone slips. Every situation is unique, so a careful investigation is key.
