Key Elements of a Premises Liability Claim in Fresno
Premises liability claims in California are based on negligence. You must prove that you were injured due to the way the owner or manager maintained the property.
The following are the elements you must prove in a premises liability lawsuit:
- The property owner has control of the property where the accident occurred
- The defendant was negligent in using or maintaining the property
- You suffered an injury
- The property owner’s negligence was a significant reason you were injured
The property owner has a “duty of care” to ensure that individuals who enter the premise are safe from harm. Common examples include cleaning up spills, placing a warning sign near a hazardous condition, or providing sufficient lighting.
Common Fresno Premises Liability Incidents
When a person slips or trips because a property owner failed to maintain the premises or because a company failed to follow safety procedures, an accident victim could suffer serious injury. They could fall and break a bone. If they fall a long distance or if something heavy falls on them, a victim could suffer a debilitating spinal cord injury or brain injury. They could also suffer burn injuries in the event of a fire or contact with a chemical substance or exposed electrical wiring.
Common types of premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Negligent security
- Fire and explosions
- Chemical injuries
- Swimming pool accidents
- Elevator and escalator accidents

"They were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle."
I just wanted to say a few things about Sawl Law Group. I had never needed to hire an attorney before, so I didn’t know what I was doing, or what to expect. When i had just been charged with a DUI; I had a pile of law offices to choose from. The first one that stood out was Sawl Law Group. They were very professional, and welcoming. Claudia made a long drive, just to meet with me face to face, and have a short conversation about my case, and my options. She made me feel confident that I could do much better than I had hoped. Claudia paired me up with Michelle, the attorney that would then, represent me. She took care of all my court dates (after signing a document of course) which was especially helpful with my crazy work schedule. Not only that, but they were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle. And to anyone else who finds themselves in a bind; I definitely recommend starting here!
