Accidents can happen anywhere, but when they happen due to a property owner’s negligence, you deserve justice and compensation. If you or someone you love has suffered an injury on someone else’s property, you need a trusted premises liability lawyer in Los Angeles. At the Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti, we bring over 15 years of legal experience, compassion, and results-driven advocacy to every case.
Understanding Premises Liability
What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility property owners have to ensure their premises are safe. If a person is injured due to dangerous or hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, the owner may be held liable.
Legal Duty of Property Owners in California
Under California law, property owners have a duty of care to maintain safe environments for visitors, tenants, and customers. When they fail to fix known hazards—or fail to warn others about them—they may be held accountable for the injuries caused.
Common Premises Liability Cases
At the Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti, we have successfully handled a wide range of premises liability claims, including:
-
Slip and fall accidents in stores or on sidewalks
-
Dog bites and animal attacks
-
Swimming pool injuries
-
Staircase and elevator accidents
-
Poorly lit hallways or parking garages
-
Negligent security in apartment complexes or hotels
Why You Might Need a Premises Liability Lawyer
Not Every Accident Is Your Fault
Many victims blame themselves after an injury on someone else’s property. But often, these accidents could have been prevented if the property owner had taken reasonable safety precautions. A skilled lawyer can uncover the truth.
Proving Negligence in Premises Liability Cases
To win your case, you must prove:
-
The property owner owed you a duty of care.
-
They breached that duty by acting negligently.
-
That breach directly caused your injury.
-
You suffered actual damages (medical costs, lost income, etc.)
This is where the Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti excels—our legal team knows how to build a rock-solid case backed by evidence, testimony, and expert opinions.

Where Premises Liability Incidents Happen
Retail Stores and Shopping Malls
Spilled liquids, falling products, or unmarked hazards in aisles frequently cause injuries.
Apartment Buildings and Condos
Tenants may suffer injuries due to poor lighting, broken stairs, or inadequate security.
Dog Parks and Private Residences
California’s strict liability dog bite law makes pet owners accountable, even if it’s the dog’s first offense.
California Premises Liability Laws Explained
Statute of Limitations
Victims have two years from the date of injury to file a premises liability lawsuit in California.
Comparative Negligence in California
If you’re partially at fault, you can still recover damages. Your compensation will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Property Owner vs. Tenant Responsibility
Who is liable depends on the property type and lease agreements. We evaluate all angles to identify the responsible party.
