Premises Liability

When a tenant or a visitor is injured or killed on a property that belongs to someone else, the property owner can be held legally responsible for the accident. If you have been injured in the San Francisco Bay Area and you feel that your injury is the fault of the owner of the premise, you may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit to recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional trauma, disfigurement, physical disability, and other applicable damages.

Velan Law Firm represents clients that have been injured on private properties and public premises in San Francisco, Oakland, Daly City, Emeryville, San Jose, Colma, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Piedmont, Burlingame, Foster City, Berkeley, and elsewhere in San Francisco County, Contra Costa County, Alameda County, Marin County, Santa Clara County, and San Mateo County.

A few examples of situations where an injured person may have grounds to file a premises liability claim or lawsuit:

  • Slip and fall/Trip and fall accidents
  • Animal and dog attacks or maulings

To file a successful premise liability claim or lawsuit, a plaintiff has to prove that the owner of the premise created an unsafe condition, did not properly maintain the property, knew that the premise was not safe and did not warn people of the lack of safety, or did not properly take care of the premise. Because of this negligence, someone—the plaintiff—was injured on the premise.

You will only pay for our services if we obtain your recovery. Otherwise, our services are free. Our personal injury attorneys can visit you at home or at the hospital if you are unable to visit our law office.

In California, the statutes of limitations for filing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are very strict. You should contact a personal injury attorney immediately so that you can meet all deadlines for your case. DO NOT talk to any insurance companies before talking to a personal injury lawyer first.
