Key Elements of a Premises Liability Claim in Fresno
Premises liability claims in California are based on negligence. You must prove that you were injured due to the way the owner or manager maintained the property.
The following are the elements you must prove in a premises liability lawsuit:
- The property owner has control of the property where the accident occurred
- The defendant was negligent in using or maintaining the property
- You suffered an injury
- The property owner’s negligence was a significant reason you were injured
The property owner has a “duty of care” to ensure that individuals who enter the premise are safe from harm. Common examples include cleaning up spills, placing a warning sign near a hazardous condition, or providing sufficient lighting.
Common Fresno Premises Liability Incidents
When a person slips or trips because a property owner failed to maintain the premises or because a company failed to follow safety procedures, an accident victim could suffer serious injury. They could fall and break a bone. If they fall a long distance or if something heavy falls on them, a victim could suffer a debilitating spinal cord injury or brain injury. They could also suffer burn injuries in the event of a fire or contact with a chemical substance or exposed electrical wiring.
Common types of premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Negligent security
- Fire and explosions
- Chemical injuries
- Swimming pool accidents

"I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed."
Our Experience with the Sawl Law Group was only positive. My adult son was in serious trouble and refused to follow our extended family’s advice on how to plea, so as to enable him to get the help we thought he needed. Martin Taleisnik represented us and went above and beyond his call-to-duty on repeatedly meeting with our son and trying to talk sense into him. Because of his familiarity with the D.A.’s and judges, he was able to counsel us as to what to expect and whom to avoid, if possible.
All we were concerned about was that my son would get a fair hearing and not be swept aside by the court process. During one court appearance, Mr. Taleisnik was in the judge’s chambers for over 20 minutes, presenting the mitigating factors in my son’s case. At the sentencing hearing, Mr. Taleisnik gave an impassioned speech to the judge which persuaded the judge to give my son probation. During that speech, a female sitting behind us in court tapped us on the shoulder and told us that she was impressed by our attorney.
Regarding the fee. We were quoted a reasonable global fee that would cover anything that would transpire, short of a trial. My son’s case was continued almost monthly for 6 months, due to his co-defendant and other court procedures. Mr. Taleisnik was always there, on time, and would speak to us afterward in the hall, at length, about what the proceedings meant and what the next step was.
I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed.

I would and do recommend them to my friends.

"Previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding."
This was the first time I had ever been involved in any situation like this. I had spoken with a few lawyers before heading to Sawl Law Group. The previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding.
They took immediate ownership of the problem at hand. This problem had wrecked havoc on my life by draining my time and my finances. Sawl Law Group was affordable and handled the case so I wasn’t required to miss work and physically be present. I would highly recommend Sawl Law Group to friends, family and anyone who needs a tough lawyer to receive justice.
