A premises liability case is a claim based on injuries caused by unsafe or defective property conditions, usually where an owner, landlord, business, or occupier failed to use reasonable care to inspect, repair, or warn about a danger.

Possibly, if a dangerous condition existed, the property owner knew or should have known about it, and that condition caused your injuries. Property owners are not automatically liable for every accident, so the details and evidence matter.

In California, injured parties generally must show the defendant owned, leased, occupied, or controlled the property, was negligent in maintenance or use, that the plaintiff was harmed, and that negligence was a substantial factor in causing the injury.

That is a common defense. California follows pure comparative negligence, which means you may still recover compensation even if the defense argues you were partly at fault, though recovery can be reduced by your share of fault.

California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a premises liability lawsuit, but claims against government entities can require an administrative claim within six months.
