A Trusted La Mesa Law Firm Holding Property Owners Accountable For Premises Liability
Last updated on June 7, 2024
When a guest or worker suffers an injury on someone else’s property, there is a strong chance the property owner may be wholly or partially liable for the injuries. Workers, such as contractors, commonly suffer injuries on someone else’s property, and may need compensation from a claim to cover the costs of their recovery.
I am California attorney Scott McMillan, and I can help you pursue the full and fair compensation you deserve in a premises liability claim. At my La Mesa office of The McMillan Law Firm, APC, I am proud to guide my clients through their third party or personal injury claims to protect their best interests after an accident.
Understanding Your Rights Outside Workers’ Comp
The focus of premises liability in real estate law matters is determining when an injured party can pursue legal action outside of workers’ compensation. These situations are common when the injury was clearly the result of the recklessness or negligence of the property owner. A common example of this would be shock injuries resulting from improperly labeled breakers.
One prevalent case like this involved a worker who was fatally injured while standing on an auger because the property owner failed to label the breakers correctly. As a result, the auger was accidentally activated, and ended in the worker’s death. These tragedies highlight the obligation a property owner has to ensure the safety of their guests and workers.
Taking Action In Premises Liability Cases
To maximize the compensation from these claims, I take the time to gather all the available information to clearly demonstrate the negligence of a property owner and establish them as the direct cause of injury. I understand the importance of consulting with an attorney who understands the claims, and my experience and skill in these situations can guide you to the outcome you deserve.
