Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Narbeh Shirvanian explains how premises liability works. The office often receives inquiries regarding premises liability cases. He points out that in California, premises liability cases often arise from the principle that any individual or entity that owns, controls, or occupies land has a legal duty to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition. This duty extends to all visitors, including invitees and guests, and requires taking reasonable precautions to prevent hazards. Property owners are expected to conduct periodic inspections to identify potential risks and to promptly correct or mitigate any dangerous conditions to ensure the safety of those on the premises.
