Eric Paris Wins a $2.4 Million for Unsafe Conditions
In a recent victory, Mr. Paris represented a man who was killed when he crashed into the side of a moving train because there were no warning signs, crossing gates and the area had poor lighting and terrible visibility. The Paris Firm represented the family who brought a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family members. The railroad resisted every step of the way until they were finally forced into mediation to resolve the case.

Duties of a Property Owner
According to California premises liability law, the person who owns, leases, or possesses the property has a responsibility and duty to:
- Use reasonable care to maintain the property in safe condition or adequately warn others if a danger exists
- Use reasonable care to inspect the property to discover any unsafe conditions
- Warn of the existence of any dangerous conditions or remove the danger
A property owner can still be held responsible for damages even if he or she was unaware that a dangerous condition existed.
