Common Private Property Accidents

Accidents on private property can arise in countless scenarios, often resulting from a property owner’s negligence. Some common examples include:

• Slip and falls: Can lead to severe fractures, sprains and devastating head injuries
• Inadequate safety: May result in assaults or theft due to insufficient safeguards
• Swimming pool accidents: Can cause drownings or severe injuries in unsafe pool environments
• Animal attacks: Dog bites often cause infections and can involve severe trauma, such as deep tissue damage and puncture wounds
• Defective stairs or railings: Frequently result in broken bones or spinal injuries that introduce a risk of paralysis

When property owners fail to maintain a safe environment, victims can suffer devastating harm. A premises liability claim may offer a path to address injuries and recover losses.

California Premises Liability Claims

Filing a premises liability claim in California is a time-sensitive process. The statute of limitations generally allows two years from the date of the injury to take legal action. Failing to file within this time frame may result in losing your right to seek compensation.

Key steps in the process include:

• Document the incident: Gather photos and witness statements
• Report the accident: Inform the property owner promptly
• Get a medical evaluation: Confirms the injury and provides invaluable medical evidence for claims

Finally, seek representation from an experienced attorney from the Law Offices of Eric Hershler to improve the odds of getting fair injury compensation.
