When people go to a supermarket, a holiday party, a library, or any other place away from home, they have a right to be safe and secure. In many states, the extent of this responsibility depends solely on the owner’s relationship with the victim and the owner’s knowledge of the hazard, if any. However, in California, premises liability cases, like swimming pool drownings, are much more complex.
This initial complexity is just the beginning. Frequently, out-of-state holding companies legally own swimming pools, water parks, amusement parks, nursing homes, and other such travel & tourism venues. Technical details, like service of process and jurisdictional matters, erect hurdles in these matters. Additionally, these out-of-state holding companies often have almost unlimited resources, with which they hire the best legal minds their money can buy.
The Los Angeles premises liability attorneys at the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim cannot possibly compete against such resources. No lawyer can. But tiny David took out giant Goliath with only a slingshot, mainly because David had right on his side. When we go to battle, we also have right on our side. The legal, financial, emotional, and other needs of serious injury victims far outweigh the corporate profits of faceless companies.
Premises accidents usually cause lifelong severe injuries, including fractures, concussions, and sprains. These incidents often occur due to transient unsafe conditions like slippery floors, poorly maintained walkways, or inadequate lighting. Other owners fail to adequately address permanent potential hazards, such as dangerous animals or deep-water swimming pools. Still, others fail to create a secure environment that deters would-be criminals and other evildoers.

The duty of reasonable care, the legal principle that is the basis of a negligence claim, is based on the moral principle in the story of the Good Samaritan. This man went out of his way to help an injured traveller.
Likewise, property owners in California must go out of their way to keep their guests safe and secure. How far must they go? The answer depends on several factors, such as how likely someone is to visit the property, how serious an injury might be, whether the person is an invited guest or not, how easy it would be to prevent the injury, and whether the owner knew about the hazard.
A Los Angeles premises liability attorney must prove negligence or a lack of care by a preponderance of the evidence or be more likely than not to obtain compensation in these matters. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering.
Matters We Handle
Public and private landowners have a bottom-line duty to place safety and security ahead of other priorities, such as convenience or profit. Some specific premises liability cases include:
Slip and Fall:
These accidents send millions to the ER yearly, especially affecting older adults with pre-existing conditions. A Los Angeles premises liability attorney can often secure full compensation.
Swimming Pool Injury:
Common risks include drownings, infections from low chlorine, and burns from high chlorine or faulty drains. Even shallow water can be deadly for young children.
Dog Bite:
Owners must control dangerous animals. Dog attacks often cause severe physical and emotional harm, and victims may have several legal avenues for recovery.
Third-Party Assaults:
Property owners must provide adequate security. Negligent security, like broken fences or lack of supervision, can enable assaults and other serious incidents.
