When you visit someone’s property, you have the right to expect that it will be safe for you, with no hidden hazards that put you at serious risk of injury. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. Injuries happen every day because of dangerous or poorly maintained properties throughout Newport Beach and the surrounding areas.
If you or someone you love is hurt because of a problem on a property, premises liability laws will determine if you can make a claim for justice. A Newport Beach personal injury lawyer at Meissner Law will help you to work within the legal system to put together a strong case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Why Choose Our Newport Beach Premises Liability Lawyers?
Premises liability claims are complicated, and you need the right law firm to help you maximize your chances of a successful outcome.
Meissner Law Firm is that firm because:
- We have a long history of success in premises liability claims. We have been representing victims injured on the property of others for decades, and we’ve won major verdicts and settlements for our clients, including a recent $999,999 settlement for a 63-year-old leaving a restaurant with an unsafe drop-off outside the door.
- We offer compassionate representation. We don’t just advocate for you and make strong legal arguments — we are truly there for you throughout your case. We answer your questions, you can talk to your attorney personally, and we put in the long hours needed to maximize your chances of a successful outcome.
- We are prepared to go the distance. Many personal injury law firms don’t have much experience in court. While we try to settle cases when possible, our legal team includes skilled litigators who can go the distance and present a strong case in trial if court proceedings are necessary to ensure you are fully compensated.
You deserve to be “made whole” when an injury happens, and our combination of experience, legal skills, and compassion for our clients makes us the right firm to help you fight for justice.
How Do You Make A Premises Liability Claim?
To make a premises liability claim, you need to show:
- The property owner had a duty to you.Whether they had a duty to you depends on why you were at the property. There are three main categories you may fall under: an invitee (a guest there for the benefit of the property owner), a licensee (a guest there for the mutual benefit of the guest and owner), or a trespasser. Invitees get stronger protections than licensees, and trespassers get the least protection, but owners still can’t set traps and must warn known trespassers of obvious hazards.
- The property owner fell short. You’ll need to show the property owner failed to fulfill their obligations. You can use witness testimony, security camera footage, expert testimony, and more.
- You were harmed. It’s critical to show the extent of your damage, as this will impact the amount of compensation that you are eligible to receive.
Meissner Law will help you make your case and will work to negotiate a settlement or present strong evidence in court.
