Pursuing Compensation for Injuries on Unsafe Properties

If you are injured while on another person's property because the owner or manager of the premises was negligent in maintaining reasonably safe property grounds, you may be able to seek compensation for medical care and other expenses or losses.

Cases of this kind fall under premises liability law, which applies to the legal accountability of landowners for accidents and injuries that occur on their properties. At The McClellan Law Firm, we handle all types of premises liability claims in San Diego.

Premises Liability Claims We Handle

With our firm to represent your interests, you can seek justice for:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: These are the most commonly filed premises liability claims. They involve situations where customers or visitors on another's property slip, trip, or fall because of hazardous conditions on the premises. Standing water, freshly waxed floors, walkway objects, and other conditions can cause these serious accidents.
• Amusement Park Injuries: The San Diego area is home to various amusement parks, theme parks, and zoos. If you are visiting one of these attractions and are injured, you may have grounds for legal action. Our team handles cases of this kind involving roller coaster accidents, water-related injuries, slip and fall accidents, and more.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: If you or your children use a public pool or pool on another's property, the property owner owes a specific duty of care for your safety. We help people who are injured in slip and fall accidents at pools, who suffer serious injury in near-drowning accidents, and who have lost loved ones to drowning.
• Elevator and Escalator Accidents: Using an elevator or escalator can be dangerous if improperly inspected, maintained, or repaired. If you fell on an escalator, became trapped in an elevator or escalator, or suffered any type of injury while using one, you may have grounds for a premises liability or product liability case.
• Inadequate Security Injuries:  Property owners in California are responsible for protecting lawful visitors and customers through reasonable security measures. This may include locks, security cameras, and guards. If a property has inadequate security and you are injured, you may have a valid case against the owner.

Whether you were injured at a grocery store, retail store, mall, parking lot, park, playground, public property, school, restaurant, nightclub, bar, apartment complex, office building, or other property owned or managed by another person, we may be able to help you pursue a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries.

Our premises liability lawyers have spent over 40 years representing injured victims in court and at the negotiation table. Through our efforts, we have secured over 140 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more each.

Common Hazards on Unsafe Properties

Property owners and building managers are responsible for keeping their buildings well-maintained to protect people on site from harm. When they fail to do so, the risk of serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, increases. Several hazards could cause an accident, such as:

• Broken or missing handrails
• Dangerous driveways
• Improperly constructed scaffolding
• Reckless use of a crane
• Slippery surfaces
• Poor signage to warn of dangerous surfaces
• Unsafe floorboards
• Raised and worn carpeting
• Cracked sidewalks

With decades of experience, The McClellan Law Firm knows how to investigate your accident to build a strong case to help you fight for the compensation you deserve. Our premises liability attorneys in San Diego have successfully argued for our clients in front of juries and at negotiation tables, so you can rest assured that your case is in good hands when you hire us to represent you in your time of need.

Types of Building Failures That Lead to Accidents

There are several different ways buildings can collapse, which include:

• Inability to support the load: This is usually the result of poor architectural design or construction.
• Corrosion or fatigue: Over time, instability in the properties of the building materials or the overall design or geometry of the structure could lead to the formation of cracks at stress points that grow and eventually cause collapse.
• Manufacturing errors: Anything from poor workmanship, failure to adhere to the approved design, improper heat treating, incorrect sizing, or poor material selection could lead to total failure.
• Defective materials: Improper manufacturing or damage from prior use could lead to failure and collapse of the structure.
• Failure to consider unexpected conditions: This type of failure could be caused by those maintaining or using the building lacking the necessary training to maintain it properly or events like heavy snow, ice, rain, earthquakes, or other natural disasters.

Landowner Liability for Injuries and Your Right to Compensation

A landowner may be accountable for injuries sustained on their property if:

• They were negligent in using or maintaining the property;
• You suffered harm, and
• Your injuries resulted from the landowner's negligence.

Serious injuries often come with massive medical bills and significant damages, and when someone else’s negligence causes them, you deserve the chance to fight for compensation. The McClellan Law Firm is committed to providing each client with the passionate representation they require to recover their compensation.
