California state law dictates that property owners owe a duty of care to invitees and licensees visiting their properties, whether commercial or residential. Premises liability law, therefore, addresses instances of dangerous accidents resulting from the negligent actions of property owners and managers. Premise liability law sorely places the responsibility for safety on the property owner—to inspect the premises for hazards and maintain safety standards.
Visitors of any kind, whether for official or recreational purposes, who access the premises and are injured due to the property owner's negligence have the legal right to hold the owner responsible. Due to the property owner's negligence, you may have grounds to seek financial compensation for damages from the accident. If you've been injured or lost someone due to a property owner's negligence, get in touch with our dedicated Sacramento premises liability lawyers at Kash Legal, who will exhaust every legal avenue to bring you the compensation you deserve.

Premise liability accidents can result in severe injuries. Common injuries associated with premise liability accidents can include:
