Premises Liability Attorney in San Diego, Coronado & South Bay
Property owners — whether homeowners, businesses, or landlords — have a legal duty to keep their spaces reasonably safe. If you slipped, fell, or were hurt because someone failed to fix or warn about a hazard, you may be entitled to compensation. At York Law, we help clients throughout San Diego County — including Coronado, Clairemont, Del Mar, and the South Bay hold negligent property owners accountable.
What Counts as a Premises Liability Case?
We handle a wide range of injury cases that occur on unsafe properties, including:
- Slip and falls in stores, restaurants, or apartment complexes
- Uneven sidewalks or broken stairways
- Poor lighting or missing handrails
- Falling objects
- Negligent security leading to injury
- Pool or playground accidents
- Dog bites (often considered under premises liability)
If your injury was preventable and due to a property owner’s negligence, we can help you pursue a claim.
Key Challenges in Premises Liability Cases
These cases often hinge on:
- Whether the hazard was known — or should have been known
- Whether the owner had time to fix it
- Whether they gave any warning
- The quality of documentation (incident reports, video footage, etc.)
We gather the evidence, speak with witnesses, and work with experts to prove negligence and damages.

Premises Liability FAQs
What should I do if I was injured on someone else’s property?
Report the incident, take photos of the hazard, gather witness information, and get medical attention right away. Then, talk to a lawyer before speaking with the property owner’s insurer.
Do I need to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?
Not necessarily. You need to show that they knew or should have known about the danger — and failed to fix it or warn you. We help build that case.
Can I sue a friend or family member if I was hurt on their property?
Yes — and in most cases, you’re filing a claim against their insurance, not them personally. We handle these situations carefully and respectfully.
What damages can I recover in a premises liability case?
You may be able to recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Future care costs
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury
How long do I have to file a claim?
In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury. However, claims involving government-owned property (like a public sidewalk) have shorter deadlines — sometimes as little as six months — so don’t wait to get advice.
How much does it cost to hire York Law?
You don’t pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency basis — meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
