Premises Liability Attorney Serving Montclair for 26+ Years
Montclair is a growing city in San Bernardino County just bordering Los Angeles County, and property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe from having conditions present. If they fail to do so and someone gets hurt, the property owner must compensate for damages.
The Paris Firm represents people in Southern California injured because of dangerous property conditions. Since 1994, personal injury attorney Eric Paris has won financial compensation for clients in a wide range of premises liability claims, including those involving:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Negligent security leading to criminal assaults
- Negligent lighting
- Dog bites
- Collapsed ceilings
- Missing handrails
- Falling objects, including merchandise falling from shelves
- Unsafe elevators or escalators
- Electrocution
- Broken stairs
- Wet or slippery surfaces
- Swimming pool accidents and drownings
- Burns from fires and explosions
- Lacerations from broken glass
Both commercial and residential property owners, (or caretakers), must maintain safe conditions on their properties. California premises liability law applies to all types of property, including apartment buildings, homes, ranches, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, malls, arenas, gyms, and parking lots.
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.
