Modesto Premises Liability Lawyer

Our Modesto Premises Liability Attorneys Are Here To Help

Whether you slipped and fell at a store or suffered injuries at a private residence, you face the complex task of proving that the property owner’s failure to maintain safe conditions directly led to your injuries. 

With the help of a premises liability lawyer, you can be equipped with the resources and in-depth legal knowledge needed to obtain evidence of negligence and communicate with insurance entities to obtain the compensation you deserve. At Setareh Law, we understand the challenges you face and are here to ensure that your rights are protected every step of the way. 

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises liability law states that property owners, such as landlords, managing companies, Airbnbs, or others, are legally responsible for accidents and injuries that result from unsafe conditions on their property. 

Our law firm has comprehensive experience in representing clients across a diverse range of premises liability cases, such as:

Slips, Trips, and Falls

These types of accidents occur when a lawful visitor is injured by slipping, tripping, or falling due to a dangerous condition on the opposing party’s property. These incidents can result from wet floors, icy walkways, uneven flooring, or poorly maintained carpets.

Negligent Security

Reasonable security measures must be provided by property owners to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. When inadequate security leads to assault or theft, the property owner can be held liable. We handle cases involving attacks in parking lots, hallways, and other areas where better lighting, security cameras, or security personnel might have prevented the incident.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Swimming pools can pose serious risks, especially if they are not properly secured or maintained. Our firm takes on cases involving pool accidents due to lack of reasonable supervision, inadequate fencing, or faulty equipment.

Dog Bites

Pet owners are legally obligated to keep their dogs or other animals from harming lawful visitors. We represent those who have been injured due to a dog bite or attack, especially when it occurs on the property of the dog’s owner.

Elevator and Escalator Accidents

These accidents are due to mechanical failures, faulty maintenance, or faulty operation. We help clients receive compensation for injuries suffered in elevator or escalator accidents.

How Do You Know You Have a Premises Liability Case? 

Determining whether you have a case depends on several factors that establish the property owner’s responsibility. The following are key considerations to help you understand if you may have a valid claim:

• Existence of a Hazardous Condition: You must establish that a dangerous condition existed. This could be anything from a slippery floor without proper signage, a broken stairwell, or exposed wiring that poses a risk.
• Property Owner’s Knowledge: It must be demonstrated that the property owner knew, or should reasonably have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors adequately. The key here is whether a “reasonable person” would have known about the risk and taken steps to mitigate it.
• Causation: There must be a direct link between the hazardous condition and the injury you sustained. This means showing that the injury was a foreseeable result of the property owner’s negligence.
• Legal Status of the Visitor: Your status as a visitor on the property also affects your case. Different levels of care are owed to invitees, licensees, and trespassers. Property owners have the highest duty to those who are on the property for mutual benefit, such as customers in a store. Lesser duties are owed to licensees or trespassers.

If you believe these elements are present in your situation, consult with a qualified premises liability attorney who can provide a more nuanced understanding of your potential claim. 

How Working With a Premises Liability Lawyer Can Help Your Case 

At Setareh Law, we understand the challenges injury victims face after an accident on unsafe premises, and we’re here to take the burden off your shoulders while aggressively fighting for the compensation you deserve. Here’s how partnering with our skilled premises liability lawyers can help strengthen your case:

In-Depth Legal Knowledge

These cases require a thorough understanding of California laws and legal precedents. We can identify all applicable laws, establish liability, and build a compelling case demonstrating how the property owner’s negligence directly caused your injuries. With a professional advocate on your side, you can avoid legal missteps that might weaken your claim.

Evidence Collection and Investigation

Proving liability often hinges on strong evidence, such as photos of hazardous conditions, surveillance footage, eyewitness testimony, and property maintenance records. We will conduct an investigation to uncover critical evidence and ensure nothing is overlooked. We also work with expert witnesses to support your case.

Determining the Value of Your Case

In premises liability claims, many injury victims are unaware of the full extent of damages they’re entitled to. We will help you evaluate your losses, including medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future costs related to your recovery. By accurately assessing the value of your claim, we ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance entities often try to minimize payouts by disputing liability or downplaying your injuries. A premises liability lawyer acts as your advocate in these negotiations, handling all communications with insurers to protect your rights. If an insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, your premises liability lawyer can prepare your case for trial and fight for you in court.

Filing a premises liability claim can be stressful, especially when you’re focused on recovering from your injuries. By working with our legal team, you gain peace of mind knowing your case is in capable hands. We handle every detail of your claim, from paperwork to communication, so you are able to focus on healing while we focus on winning your case.
