When negligence results in serious personal injury

When a property owner allows their premises to become a hazard to those who occupy or frequent the property, they may be held accountable for the damages that result. However, it must be demonstrated that there is negligence on the part of the owner (or the lawful occupier responsible for the premises, such as a renter, manager, or licensee).

Factors that may affect the determination of negligence include:

  • Was the owner/occupier aware of the hazard or potential for injury?
  • Did the owner/occupier contribute to the hazard through action or deliberate inaction?
  • Was there a reasonable expectation that injury could result from the hazardous circumstances?
  • Was there any history of similar occurrences that would dictate precautions should have been taken?
  • Under California law, merely owning or occupying land does not make that person liable for injuries sustained on the property. There must be some form of negligence on the part of the owner or occupier of property before there can be any liability.

    In addition, the status of the person injured on the property may affect a determination of liability. To understand the relative liability of the owner of the property and the occupier of the property, it is necessary to understand the three different types of people who may be on the property:

    1. Invitees
    2. Licensees
    3. Trespassers

    The degree of responsibility owed by an owner or occupier differs according to the status of the person who is injured.
