Burbank Premises Liability Lawyer

An injury on another person’s property can disrupt your health and ability to work. A dangerous walkway outside a business or poor lighting in a downtown parking structure may create serious risks. When a property owner fails to address an unsafe condition, you may have grounds to seek compensation.

A Burbank premises liability lawyer at LNN could investigate how the hazard developed and who had responsibility for the site. Our personal injury attorneys could preserve evidence before someone repairs the property or deletes the security video. Early work helps protect your personal injury claim.

Property Owners Must Use Ordinary Care

California premises liability law requires more than ownership of the location. Under California Civil Code § 1714, a person is responsible for injuries caused by a lack of ordinary care in managing property. In practical terms, owners and other parties controlling a site may need to inspect for hazards. They may also need to correct a dangerous condition or provide an adequate warning.

A premises liability claim may involve a landlord or commercial tenant, or responsibility could rest with a management company or maintenance contractor. Our lawyers in Burbank could examine leases and service agreements to determine who was responsible for the condition that caused you to suffer an injury while on their property.

Examples of Unsafe Property Conditions

Premises liability accidents can occur at apartment buildings near the Media District or stores around the city’s Town Center. Offices and neighborhood businesses may also expose visitors to preventable dangers. The central issue is whether the person controlling the property acted reasonably. Examples of dangerous property conditions include:

Spilled liquids or recently mopped floors without warnings
Broken stairs or loose handrails
Uneven pavement and damaged flooring
Inadequate lighting in hallways or parking areas
Defective gates or unsecured entrances
Falling merchandise or poorly maintained fixtures

A Burbank property liability attorney from our firm could seek inspection records and incident reports. For a negligent security claim, our lawyers may review prior complaints and access-control practices. Evidence showing how long a hazard existed can be important because a property owner may dispute having actual or constructive notice of the danger.

What Must You Prove After an Injury on Another’s Property?

A successful premises liability case generally requires proof that the defendant controlled the property and failed to use reasonable care. You must also connect that failure to your injury and resulting losses. A photograph of the condition may help, and surveillance footage or testimony about your medical treatment may provide further support.

Property owners and insurers may argue that the danger was obvious or that you were not watching where you walked. The state’s comparative-fault rules can reduce your compensation if you share responsibility, but partial fault does not automatically end a claim. Our premises liability attorneys in Burbank challenge unsupported blame and present evidence of the owner’s conduct.

Compensation in a Premises Liability Claim

An unsafe property injury can lead to emergency treatment and ongoing rehabilitation, and it may keep you from working or limit your daily activities. Depending on the evidence, our Burbank property liability attorneys could pursue compensation for:

Medical expenses
Lost income
Diminished earning capacity
Pain
Other legally recoverable harm

The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury and the strength of the liability evidence. LNN does not assume that an insurer’s first offer is fair, so our lawyers could document your losses and address attempts to minimize them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

I HAVE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT – WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

If you have been injured in an accident that was no fault of your own, there are steps you should take to ensure you are compensated for costs related to the incident. Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent. Keep a record of your injuries and note any complications that arise because of your injuries. Report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
