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.
