Property owners and property managers, and occupiers must keep their property safe for people that are there legally. If you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s failure to keep their property secure, a Los Angeles premises liability attorney at Culver Legal is here to assist you in recovering the compensation you deserve.
In California, premises liability law is governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure 1714. The code states, “Everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her want of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, except so far as the latter has, willfully or by want of ordinary care, brought the injury upon himself or herself.” This means, in order to recover for injuries received on another’s property, the victim must be able to show all four of the following elements:
The “duty of care” standard is based upon what a reasonable property owner, occupier, or lessor would have done under similar circumstances.
Some of the more commonly seen premises liability accidents include:
Sometimes the injuries sustained in these accidents are catastrophic in nature. Also, should these injuries result in death, the loved ones of the deceased may be able to bring a wrongful death action.
There are various types of damages you may be able to recover for an injury incurred on another’s property, including economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.
Economic damages are easily proven, as they are the financial loss experienced by the victim due to the accident. They include:
Non-economic damages do not have a set monetary value and vary widely depending on the circumstances of each particular case. They may include:
Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure 3294, in cases where there is “clear and convincing evidence the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice,” the plaintiff may recover punitive damages.
