To successfully resolve a premises liability case, your attorney must prove that the property owner or manager was negligent, meaning they failed to take reasonable care in maintaining a safe environment.

To establish negligence in a Los Angeles premises liability case, your lawyer must establish and demonstrate:

1. The property owner owed you a duty of care. For instance, the owner of a store, restaurant, apartment building, etc., had a legal responsibility to keep their property reasonably safe for customers and visitors.
2. The property owner failed their responsibility by acting negligently or failing to act reasonably. This often occurs when an owner fails to properly maintain or fix a dangerous condition on their property that they knew about but ignored.
3. Their failure to responsibly maintain a safe environment directly caused your injuries.
4. You suffered injuries as a result.

Evidence that can substantiate a premises liability claim may include:

• Photographs or video footage of the hazardous condition
• Witness statements
• Incident reports or maintenance logs
• Expert testimony (e.g., safety inspectors, engineers)
• Medical records and bills documenting your injuries and treatment
