Cerritos, CA Premises Liabilities 

Expert Handling of Premises Liability Claims for Slip and Fall Accidents and More

Compassionate Advocacy and Expert Negotiation for Optimal Outcomes in Premises Liability Cases in Cerritos, California 

Premises liability is a critical area of personal injury law because it holds property owners accountable for maintaining safe conditions on their premises. Property owners and occupiers are legally required to ensure their properties are free from hazards that could harm visitors or tenants. When this duty is neglected, and an injury occurs, the property owner may be held liable for the resulting damages. At Maximus Law Firm, we specialize in handling cases involving injuries caused by property hazards, such as slips and falls, inadequate security, and other incidents arising from dangerous conditions on another person's property in Cerritos, California. 


Common Premises Liability Cases 

Slip and fall accidents are among the most frequent premises liability claims. Hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, and poorly maintained stairways often contribute to these incidents. Other common causes include: 

  • Inadequate lighting in parking lots or walkways 
  • Faulty handrails or broken steps 
  • Obstructions or debris in pathways 
  • Dog bites on residential properties 
  • Insufficient security measures, such as broken locks or lack of surveillance, lead to assaults or robberies 


Injuries and Their Impact 

Victims of premises liability incidents often suffer severe injuries, including: 

  • Broken bones and fractures 
  • Sprains, strains, and ligament damage 
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) 
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, and depression 


Severe injuries may require long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, or even permanent lifestyle adjustments, leading to significant financial and emotional strain. 


How Maximus Law Firm Can Help

In premises liability cases, time is not on your side. Security footage may be deleted, hazards may be repaired, and witnesses may forget key details.

  • Can I file a premises liability claim if I was injured on public property?

    Yes, but claims against government entities typically have shorter filing deadlines, usually within six months.

  • What if I was injured on private property but I wasn’t invited there? Can I still make a claim?

    You may still have a claim if the property owner failed to address a known hazard, even if you were a trespasser, depending on the circumstances.

  • How do I know if the property owner was negligent in maintaining their premises?

    Negligence can be established if the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors.

  • What should I do immediately after an accident on someone else’s property?

    Take photos of the scene, document the hazard, seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner, and consult an attorney.

  • Can a property owner be held liable for accidents caused by third-party actions (e.g., a criminal act on their property)?

    Yes, if the property owner failed to provide adequate security measures to prevent foreseeable harm.
