Under California law, property owners must maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. If a dangerous condition exists, they must either fix it or warn visitors about it.
Duty of care depends on your legal status:
✔ Invitees (customers, business visitors): Owners owe the highest duty, they must inspect for hazards and eliminate or warn about dangers.
✔ Licensees (social guests): Owners must warn about known hazards but don't have to inspect for problems.
✔ Trespassers: Owners owe minimal duty except in cases involving children or known trespassers.
Negligence creates liability when a property owner knew or should have known about a hazard, failed to fix it or warn about it, and that failure caused your injury.
We handle injury claims throughout Burbank involving unsafe property conditions:
✔ Slip, trip, and fall accidents on wet floors, uneven sidewalks, torn carpeting, or debris
✔ Inadequate lighting or security leading to assaults, robberies, or violent attacks
✔ Swimming pool drownings caused by missing barriers, broken gates, or lack of supervision
✔ Stairway and balcony collapses from structural defects or poor maintenance
✔ Retail store injuries from falling merchandise, spills, or overcrowded aisles
✔ Restaurant and hotel accidents involving food poisoning, bed bugs, or unsafe facilities
✔ Parking lot hazards including potholes, broken lighting, or crumbling asphalt
Property owners in Burbank include businesses on San Fernando Boulevard, apartment complexes near the Burbank Town Center, hotels around Hollywood Burbank Airport, and private residences throughout the city. All are responsible for maintaining safe conditions.
To recover compensation, we must prove four elements:
1. The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. We investigate maintenance records, prior complaints, and inspection reports. If a spill sat for an hour in a grocery store, the owner should have found it.
2. The owner breached their duty to inspect and maintain. Property owners must conduct reasonable inspections and repairs. Ignoring a broken handrail or failing to salt icy steps is a breach.
3. The hazard caused your injury. We link the dangerous condition directly to your fall or accident. Medical records, witness statements, and photos establish causation.
4. You suffered real damages. We document medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from your injury.
Our attorneys gather surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and photograph the scene before evidence disappears. We connect you with doctors who treat your injuries at no upfront cost. We fight to show that you were harmed by the owner's negligence.
If you were injured on someone else's property, you may be entitled to recover:
✔ Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs, including emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and future care
✔ Lost wages and diminished earning capacity if your injury keeps you out of work temporarily or permanently
✔ Pain and suffering for the physical discomfort and limitations caused by your injury
✔ Emotional distress including anxiety, depression, and trauma from the accident
✔ Disability and disfigurement when injuries result in permanent scarring, amputation, or reduced function
We negotiate with insurance companies to maximize case value. If they refuse to pay fair compensation, we take your case to trial. You pay nothing unless we win.
Insurance companies and property owners often try to avoid responsibility:
"The hazard was obvious." They claim you should have seen the danger and avoided it. We argue that property owners still have a duty to eliminate known hazards, even visible ones.
"You were partially at fault." California follows comparative fault rules. If you were 20% responsible and they were 80%, you can still recover 80% of your damages. We fight to minimize any fault assigned to you.
"We maintained the property properly." They produce maintenance logs claiming regular inspections. We scrutinize these records for gaps, inconsistencies, and evidence they knew about the hazard.
"Your injuries aren't that serious." Insurance adjusters downplay your pain and medical needs. We connect you with doctors who document the full extent of your injuries and provide expert testimony about long-term impacts.
Our attorneys counter these defenses with evidence, expert witnesses, and aggressive negotiation. We've handled premises liability cases throughout Burbank and know how property owners try to escape liability.
If you were injured on someone else's property, take these steps to protect your claim:
1. Seek medical attention immediately. Even if you feel okay, see a doctor. Some injuries don't show symptoms right away. Medical records also document that your injury happened.
2. Report the incident in writing. Tell the property owner, manager, or staff what happened. Ask for a copy of the incident report. If they won't give you one, write down who you told and when.
3. Take photos and gather witness information. Use your phone to photograph the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area. Get names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the accident.
4. Preserve physical evidence. Keep the shoes you were wearing, torn clothing, or any objects involved in your fall. Don't throw anything away.
5. Contact our Burbank premises liability lawyers. Call (800) 597-5596 for a FREE consultation before you speak to the property owner's insurance company. Adjusters will try to get you to give a recorded statement or accept a quick settlement. Don't. Let us handle all communication.
