San Jose Premises Liability and Unsafe Property Claims
When a person suffers injuries as a result of a property owner's failure to maintain a building, a parking garage, or land in a reasonably safe condition, the owner can be held accountable in a premises liability lawsuit. For a free consultation about your right to recover damages for severe injuries resulting from a property owner's negligence, contact a California personal injury lawyer at Shea & Shea.
Liability for dangerous property conditions can cover a broad range of accident scenarios, such as the following:
- Structurally unsound building elements, such as stairwells, handrails, balconies, and porches
- Negligent storage of solvents, toxic chemicals, and other contaminants
- Unsafe amusement park, theme park, and carnival rides
- Unsupervised swimming pools
- Injuries caused by dog bites or other animal attacks
- Injuries caused by falls on wet floors, unlit stairways, and oily surfaces
- Inadequate or negligent security in stores, hotels, apartment buildings, and parking garages
The key question in any premises liability case is whether the property owner should have foreseen the risk that a particular condition in the building or grounds might result in an accident.
