Premises Liability Injury Attorney

Experienced Representation for Premises Liability Victims. Attorney Jilber S. Jamgochyan represents victims of premises liability incidents throughout California, including incidents on private and public property. The firm provides experienced legal counsel.

About Our Premises Liability Services

Premises liability incidents can cause serious injuries, financial strain, and emotional trauma. The Law Office of Jilber S. Jamgochyan represents premises liability victims throughout California, drawing on more than three decades of personal injury experience.

California premises liability is governed by general negligence principles. Under Rowland v. Christian (1968) 69 Cal.2d 108 and California Civil Code Section 1714, property owners owe a duty of ordinary care to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. The firm evaluates each case under this framework and pursues the categories of damages available under California law.

Premises liability claims on public property (such as government buildings, public sidewalks, transit facilities, and public schools) are subject to the California Government Claims Act and its strict six-month administrative claim filing deadline under Government Code Section 911.2. Because this deadline is much shorter than the two-year statute of limitations that applies to claims against private property owners, contacting the firm promptly after an injury on public property is important.”

Whether the incident occurred at a private business, on a public sidewalk, or at another location, the firm advocates for the client and pursues the compensation available under California law.

How Our Premises Liability Process Works

The firm’s four-step process is designed to handle each premises liability matter efficiently and transparently, with clear communication at every stage.

Step 1

Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation

The firm begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand the details of the incident, the client’s injuries, and the parties potentially responsible. Attorney Jamgochyan reviews the evidence, assesses the damages, and outlines the legal options available.

Step 2

Evidence Gathering and Strategy

Next, we conduct a thorough investigation, collecting incident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions. We develop a tailored legal strategy tailored to the facts of the matter, including proving negligence under California’s premises liability standards.

Step 3

Negotiation and Settlement

The firm engages in negotiation with insurance carriers and opposing counsel to pursue a fair resolution under California law. The firm keeps clients informed and handles communication with the opposing parties so clients can focus on recovery.

Step 4

Litigation and Resolution

When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to file suit and litigate the matter in court, presenting the evidence and arguments developed during case preparation. Once a matter is resolved, the firm coordinates disbursement of any recovery, the payment of medical liens, and any other post-resolution items, and remains available to address client questions about the closing of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about premises liability claims and how we can assist you.

What types of premises liability cases do you handle?

We handle slips and falls, trip and fall accidents, inadequate maintenance claims, elevator and escalator incidents, swimming pool injuries, and other negligent premises cases. Our attorneys have experience across diverse property liability matters.

Can my premises liability claim settle out of court?

Yes, many claims are resolved through negotiation with insurers before filing a lawsuit. Most of my clients prefer that their claims resolve quickly and without the need to file a lawsuit. I am always sensitive to my clients’ wishes and do my best to resolve their claims quickly and amicably. This requires the cooperation of the adverse parties and/or their insurance carriers. Sometimes, the filing of a lawsuit may be necessary because of the lack of cooperation from the other party and/or their insurance carrier. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. In the event we are unable to reach a fair and reasonable settlement, and settlement negotiations fail or break down, a lawsuit will be filed, and your claim will be in litigation. While your claim may be resolved after the filing of a lawsuit, in some cases your claim may have to go to trial.

How long will my premises liability claim take?

Each case varies based on evidence, severity of injuries, and insurer cooperation. Some claims settle in weeks, while others require litigation and may take months or longer. The firm keeps clients informed at every stage and pursues resolution as the facts of the case allow. Claims against public entities are also subject to the Government Claims Act presentation requirements, which affect the overall timeline.

Are there special deadlines for premises liability claims on public property?

Yes. If a premises liability incident occurred on property owned or controlled by a public entity (a city, county, state agency, public school district, transit authority, etc.), the claim is subject to the California Government Claims Act. An administrative claim must generally be filed with the public entity within six months of the incident under Government Code Section 911.2. This deadline is much shorter than the general two-year statute of limitations that applies to claims against private property owners, and missing it can bar recovery. The firm encourages anyone injured on public property to contact an attorney promptly.

Why should I choose your firm for my injury claim?

When negotiations do not produce a fair outcome based on the facts, the firm is prepared to file suit and litigate the matter. Attorney Jamgochyan advocates for the client at every stage through trial.
