What Is Premises Liability in California?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners, landlords, or managers to maintain a reasonably safe environment for visitors. Under the California Civil Code, property owners must take steps to identify and repair hazardous conditions, or adequately warn guests of potential dangers.

Common examples of hazardous conditions include:

• Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
• Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
• Broken railings or uneven walkways
• Unsecured objects that cause tripping
• Inadequate security in high-crime areas

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In a premises liability case, one or more parties may be held responsible, including:

• Private property owners
• Commercial landlords and business owners
• Government agencies (e.g., city-maintained sidewalks or parks)
• Property management companies

Elements of a Premises Liability Claim in California

Under California law, an injured party must establish certain elements for a premises liability claim:

1. A dangerous condition existed on the property
2. The property owner or manager knew or should have known about it
3. They failed to fix or warn about the danger in a timely manner
4. The hazardous condition directly caused the plaintiff’s injuries

Evidence may include security footage, witness statements, photos of the hazard, incident reports, and medical records.
