Premises Liability: Holding Property Owners Accountable
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.
