Premises Liability: Holding Property Owners Accountable

By Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie on April 21, 2023

Post Image

Under California law, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain their buildings and land in a safe condition. This means they must regularly inspect their properties to ensure it is free of hazards that could cause injury to visitors, patrons, or tenants. If a property owner fails to fulfill this duty, and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held liable for the damages.

This legal principle is known as premises liability and it applies to all types of properties, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and public spaces. Homeowners, property owners, and business owners all have a duty to make their property safe and to warn of any conditions that could foreseeably cause harm to others.

Post Image

Rolling skating has risen in popularity in the past year, largely due to skaters utilizing Tik-Tok to showcase their skills.

By Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie on May 4, 2020

Post Image

Most people brush off slip-and-falls as clumsiness, even if it was someone else’s fault. When no injuries are involved, this makes sense; no one wants to make a fuss over something small. But if you fall down a dark staircase or cracked your head because restaurant staff didn’t clean up a spilled drink, then a small fuss would be the least of anyone’s worries.
