How does California law impact your injury case?

The California Civil Code states the following:

“Everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts, but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her want of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, except so far as the latter has, willfully or by want of ordinary care, brought the injury upon himself or herself. The extent of liability in these cases is defined by the Title on Compensatory Relief.”

The state’s law section called the Title on Compensatory Relief states: 

“Every person who suffers detriment from the unlawful act or omission of another may recover from the person in fault a compensation therefor in money, which is called damages.”

How do our premises attorneys in San Jose prove your case? 

Every case we take on at The Swanson Law Group has unique factors. Property owners or managers who have failed to ensure visitors or guests are protected from harm, such as:

  • Failing to clean up a spill
  • Fixing a broken tile
  • Replacing lights or handrails
  • Ensuring an unsafe area had adequate security to protect against assaults

These are just a few examples. When our team of premises liability lawyers in San Jose we take on a premises liability claim, we devote all our resources to helping our clients achieve complete justice.
