Property Owner Negligence

If They Knew About the Danger and Did Nothing, They Are Liable.

Property owners — from homeowners to commercial landlords to retail chains — have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail, and someone gets hurt, they are responsible. But proving a premises liability case requires more than just showing you fell. You need to prove the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it.

Joseph Gallo has handled premises liability cases against grocery stores, apartment complexes, restaurants, commercial property owners, and government entities across Orange County. He knows how to find the evidence that proves negligence.

They knew it was dangerous. They did nothing. Now they pay.

How We Prove Premises Liability

01

Incident Documentation

We secure incident reports, maintenance logs, inspection records, and surveillance footage before the property owner can destroy them.

02

Constructive Notice

Even if the owner claims they did not know about the hazard, we prove they should have known through patterns and industry standards.

03

Expert Analysis

We engage safety experts, building code inspectors, and engineers to prove the property violated safety standards.

Premises Liability FAQ

What do I need to prove in a slip and fall case?
You need to show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to fix it or warn about it, and that the condition caused your injuries.
I fell at a store but did not report it. Can I still file a claim?
Yes, but it makes the case harder. We can still build a claim using medical records, witness statements, and any available surveillance footage. Contact us as soon as possible.
Can I sue a government entity for unsafe property?
Yes, but claims against government entities in California have a very short filing deadline — typically six months. It is critical to contact an attorney immediately.
