Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Should I Contact a Personal Injury Law Firm After My Accident?

The best time to call a personal injury claims lawyer is right away. The sooner you reach out, the better the chances of an efficient claim, case process, medical treatment, and financial compensation. Negligence refers to the failure to take proper care when doing something. A defendant’s negligence should never be overlooked. From premises liability law to car accidents, our liability attorney team can help you recover compensation if you’ve suffered injuries that someone else is legally responsible for.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Wrongful death claims give family members the right to seek financial damages from parties responsible for the death of a loved one. You have two years from the date of death to bring a civil claim to California.

What Constitutes Premises Liability?

Premises liability means property owners can be held responsible for accidents and injuries on their property. To have a premises liability claim, the injured person must be allowed to be on the property, the owner must be negligent (or reckless, careless, etc.), and the negligence must directly cause the injury. For example, if you slip on a wet floor in a grocery store because they didn’t clean it up or put up a warning sign, you might have a premises liability claim against the store. Each premises liability case is different, so be sure to check with your liability lawyer first.

What Differentiates Premises Liability From Personal Liability?

Premises liability focuses on accidents on someone else’s property, while personal liability deals with individual actions. If you were injured due to negligence on someone else’s property, consult with a Los Angeles premises liability lawyer from Steers Law Firm for expert guidance on your rights and legal options. Premises liability accidents can change your life forever. Hold the property owner accountable and make sure you discuss with liability attorneys.

What Is California’s Premises Liability Statute Of Limitations?

It’s important to talk to a Los Angeles premises liability lawyer about your specific case to know the exact time limits. If you think you have a premises liability claim, it’s a good idea to act quickly and get legal advice as soon as possible.

How Does A Lawyer Prove Premises Liability In California?

In California, a liability lawyer can prove premises liability and hold a property owner accountable by establishing certain elements. Our premises liability lawyers at Steers Law Firm are skilled in accomplishing this. First, your Los Angeles premises liability lawyer needs to show that the property owner or occupier had a duty of care towards the injured person. This means they had a responsibility to maintain a safe environment and fix any unsafe conditions.

Next, your lawyer must demonstrate that the property owner or occupier breached that duty by acting negligently or failing to take proper precautions. This can be done by presenting evidence of hazardous conditions or lack of warning signs on someone else’s property. Liability lawyers also must prove that the negligence directly caused the injury suffered by the injured party. This can be proven by providing medical bills, witness testimonies, and other relevant evidence.

Lastly, the liability lawyer must demonstrate the damages or harm caused by the accident, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. By presenting a strong case with these elements, a liability lawyer can successfully prove premises liability in California. If you need assistance with a premises liability case, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with a lawyer from Steers Law Firm.
