San Fernando Valley Premises Liability Lawyer
Burbank Slip & Fall Injury Claims Attorneys
A trip to the mall or a big box retail store should be fun. You may have been injured by dangerous conditions in the parking lot, in common areas or in the store itself. Many things that cause an injury may be considered a hazard, including a vicious dog roaming free in your neighbor's yard or an improperly marked curb, and might be considered a premises liability claim.
If you or a family member has been injured due a store owner's or homeowner's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including medical expenses and time off work. The best way to pursue a premises liability claim is to connect with an experienced personal injury lawyer, who can review your slip & fall injury and advise you of the strength of your claim.

Duty of Care
The property management company and store owners and employees have an obligation to take reasonable precautions against slip-and-fall injury hazards, such as:
- Uneven surfaces in the parking lot
- Poor outdoor lighting that makes hazards hard to see
- Lack of walkways in construction zones
- Lack of security leading to injury
- Spills that are not promptly mopped up
- Holes that are left uncovered
This principle applies to homeowners, too. If you are renting a home, for example, the landlord has an obligation to provide reasonable safety on the premises. If he or she unscrews a light bulb in the stairwell in order to save money, your landlord would be accountable for damages if you fall down the stairs. By the same token, your neighbor is accountable for damages due to dog bites A home owner negligence claim may result from a serious head injury or wrongful death due to unsafe conditions on sidewalks, swimming pools or driveways.
