How Do Property Owners and Insurance Companies Downplay Your Los Angeles Premises Liability Case?

- Getting surveillance footage before it’s deleted
- Obtaining maintenance records and inspection reports
- Gathering witness statements while memories are fresh
- Documenting conditions through professional photography
- Consulting with safety experts for detailed analysis
Insurance companies use various tactics to reduce their financial responsibility:
- Disputing the severity of injuries
- Claiming the victim was at fault
- Delaying claim processing
- Pressuring quick settlements
- Questioning the necessity of medical treatment
We counter these strategies by:
- Building comprehensive evidence portfolios
- Working with medical experts to document injuries
- Calculating long-term impacts of injuries
- Leveraging California premises liability laws
- Maintaining strong negotiation positions

Recent Notable Premises Liability Cases
$1,275,000 Settlement
Injured v. Commercial Retailer
This customer slipped on a substance that should have been cleaned or at least marked, then suffered multiple traumatic injuries. The owner failed to prevent unsafe conditions, leading to liability. The client had a torn ACL, quadricep, and meniscus, alongside multilevel disc protrusions of the lumbar and cervical spine. The two major surgeries alone cost $350,000, but pain, suffering, future medical expenses, and loss of enjoyment in life allowed a settlement of $1,275,000.

What Our Clients Say
How do I know if they are liable for my injury?
Invitee
- Customer at a business (client, shopper, tenant) even if they don’t purchase anything
- Also usually contractors, which would be hired and invited by the owner
- Invitees receive the highest duty of care, which also means that payouts tend to be higher because the bar of negligence is lower
- Property owners need to actively inspect and remove hazardous conditions
Trespasser
- This person does not have permission to be on the property
- Property owners should not intentionally harm them though, such as traps or deliberate hazards
- It is much less likely to be paid out, since little duty of care is owed
- Exception: Landowners might be held liable under the attractive nuisance case, which is when children trespass for something like a swimming pool or trampoline.
Licensee
- Social guests, like going to a friend’s house, volunteer work, non-paying guests, or passing by a public space like a gas station
- The owner should warn of hazards that are not obvious, but they don’t need to take care of them as much
- These tend to have lower payouts and settlements, since the jury may assume it is more so their responsibility to keep themselves safe.
