Common Types of Premises Liability Cases in Los Angeles
Premises liability encompasses a wide range of scenarios in which injuries occur due to unsafe property conditions. Some of the most common types of premises liability cases we handle in Los Angeles include:
Slip and Fall Accidents
These are among the most prevalent premises liability cases. Slips and falls can occur due to wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, loose rugs or carpeting, cracked sidewalks, icy walkways, inadequate lighting, or debris and obstacles in walkways.
Inadequate Security
Property owners have a responsibility to provide reasonable security measures and protect visitors and tenants from foreseeable criminal activity. Inadequate security can lead to assaults, robberies, and other crimes. If a property owner fails to provide adequate security — such as guards, surveillance cameras, or proper lighting — they may be held liable for injuries resulting from criminal acts on their property.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools pose inherent risks, especially for young children. Premises liability cases involving swimming pools may arise due to a lack of fencing or barriers, inadequate supervision, faulty pool equipment, or failure to warn about potential dangers.
Dog Bites
Pet owners can be held liable for injuries caused by dog bites. This includes situations where the dog has a history of aggression, the owner fails to properly restrain the animal, or the owner is aware of their pet’s dangerous propensities and does not take appropriate action.
Negligent Maintenance
Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. Negligent maintenance — such as failing to repair broken stairs, railings, or flooring — can create hazardous conditions and lead to injuries.
Fires and Explosions
Fires and explosions can result in severe burn injuries, smoke inhalation, and other serious harm. These incidents can occur due to faulty wiring, gas leaks, improperly stored flammable materials, or other hazardous conditions.
Elevator and Escalator Accidents
Malfunctioning elevators and escalators can cause serious injuries, including falls, crushing injuries, and amputations. Property owners and maintenance companies have a responsibility to ensure these devices are properly maintained and safe for use.

FAQ
What if I was injured on government property?
If you were injured on property owned by a government entity — such as a city park, public building, or sidewalk — special rules and shorter deadlines may apply to your claim. It’s crucial to consult with a premises liability attorney experienced in handling cases against government entities.
Does it matter if I was invited onto the property or not?
Yes, your legal status as a visitor (invitee, licensee, or trespasser) can affect the duty of care owed to you by the property owner and the strength of your premises liability claim. An attorney can assess your specific situation and explain your legal rights.
