Premises Liability

Premises Liability

“Premises liability” is a legal concept that often comes into play in “personal injury cases". At NELSON & NATALE, we are very familiar with premises liability cases. In one of our landmark cases we recovered $4.6 million as a result of a "Jury Trial" in Santa Monica court covering only one premises liability case.

Every property owner is responsible for the care and maintenance of their premises or the property they own or control ensuring that it is safe to the public. In most personal injury cases, premises liability will be based on negligence. At NELSON & NATALE we take on the responsibility of proving that the property owner was negligent in their ownership and care of the subject property and injuries occurred.

NELSON & NATALE has won literally thousands of these cases and we make sure to make the process  as easy for you as possible. We will work together to investigate the premises and acquire the proof needed to ensure your case is successful. Premises liability cases include but are not limited to:

• Slip and falls
• Swimming pool accidents
• Elevator and escalator accidents
• Construction site accidents
• Amusement park accidents
• Carpet /stair accidents

As mentioned before, premises liability cases rely on proving that a property owner was somehow negligent, and this has led  you or someone else being injured. If you have an accident on someones property, it is important for you to take photos and acquire evidence of what caused your injury.

It is important that you take care of yourself and IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. If you are unable to acquire proof at the immediate moment that your accident occurred, you might still have a case.
