Injuries Caused by Unsafe Conditions
Slip and Fall • Trip and Fall • Assault
The owner or operator of a business has a legal duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at least warn the public of a dangerous condition that they caused, were aware of, or should have been aware of. If you were in a public place or a private residence and hurt yourself, you may be entitled to monetary damages for your injury and losses due to the owners failure to maintain his premises in a reasonably safe condition.
Many law firms shy away from premises liability cases, but the Southern California law firm of Russakow, Ryan & Johnson has had notable successes in proving negligence and collecting compensation in premises liability claims. Even if another attorney said you don't have a case, let us take a look. We offer a free case evaluation and accept cases throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Contact us immediately to investigate your claim and preserve necessary evidence.
Success in the Hard-to-Prove Arena of Premises Liability
A business or property owner is legally accountable for unsafe conditions on their property. Even where the property owner was at fault, the owner may claim that the hazard was an open and obvious condition, a trivial defect, that you had fair warning, or that you were also careless. The lawyers at Russakow, Ryan & Johnson are adept at keeping the responsibility on owners by proving that they knew of the dangerous condition or should have known. We have prevailed in all typers of premises liability claims:
- Trip and falls or slip and falls caused by slippery surfaces, raised surfaces, drop-offs, broken stairs and other hidden hazards
- Construction defect injuries linked to building code violations or poor maintenance and repair
- Falls and other injuries at a hotel, resort or amusement park
- Rape, assault or robbery enabled by poor security measures
While the most common premises liability case is a slip and fall accident or a trip and fall accident, these injuries are by no means the only kind of premises negligence case that our firm handles. Premises liability injuries may also stem from other unsafe or dangerous conditions on the premises, which include:
- Inadequate or defective lighting conditions
- Failure to warn of hazardous conditions on the property
- Improperly maintained equipment
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Swimming pool accidents
- Other dangerous conditions of the premises
