Premises Liability

Property owners from homeowners to businesses have an obligation to keep their premises safe for visitors. If they fail to uphold this and you slip or trip, suffering an injury as a result, you might have an actionable personal injury case.

At VS Trial Lawyers, we have more than 60 years of combined experience that we use to help you with your personal injury claim. Our team of attorneys provides personal service to clients in Stockton and the surrounding region in a variety of complex personal injury claims, many of which involve litigation.

If you are on someone else’s property and you survive an accident, the property owner could be liable for your damages. Some of the most common examples of premises liability accidents include:

• Slip-and-falls
• Trip-and-falls
• Falling from heights
• Dog attacks
• Electrical accidents
• Fires
• Lax security

To have a successful case in California, you must demonstrate a few criteria:

• A hazard existed on the premises
• The owner knew about, or should have known about, the hazard and failed to fix it
• The hazard caused an injury and you have damages

If you believe that these elements are present, we can sit down with you to discuss the details and see whether we can help you. Many cases result in settlements, while others require litigation from our tenacious team. Either way, we are devoted to helping you recover maximum compensation.

Whether you suffered a slip-and-fall or another kind of premises liability injury, you can rely on VS Trial Lawyers for all the legal help you need. We make sure to offer prompt communication, so you can expect us to reply to you within one business day. To request a free consultation, please call 209-837-0167 or send us an email.
