Premises liability seeks to protect individuals in cases about accidents occurring on someone else’s property. These accidents generally occur due to poor management or maintenance of the property. The owner or occupier of the property sometimes doesn’t protect visitors from dangerous conditions. If there is any risk or harm, and invitees are injured by these conditions, the person who is in possession of the land will have to compensate the injured for all losses.
If you or a loved one sustained injuries during an accident that occurred in a property that belongs to someone else, seek legal advice from one of our Long Beach personal injury attorneys with premises liability experience.
