When you visit someone’s business, home, or other property, you have the right to expect that you will be reasonably safe while you are a guest. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. When property owners are negligent about security, property maintenance, or other serious issues on the premises, you could be harmed as a result.
If and when this happens to you, premises liability laws should ensure that the property owner is held liable for your losses. However, it is up to you to navigate the legal system and to take the necessary steps to get justice.
Our San Pedro personal injury attorneys only represent injured victims and, for over 40 years, we have been fighting aggressively for our clients, standing up to insurance companies and big business to get full and fair compensation for those who have been harmed. Meissner Law can help.

When Can You Take Legal Action Under Premises Liability Law?
Premises liability laws are the laws that apply when someone makes a personal injury claim after getting hurt on someone’s property. You may be able to pursue legal action under these laws as a result of:
- A slip and fall
- Negligent security
- Dog bites
- Escalator or elevator accidents
- Food poisoning
- Fires
- Electrocution
- Drowning
- Construction site accidents
In many cases arising under these laws, it will be important to determine what the property owner’s duty was to you and whether they breached that duty. The duty depends on why you were at the property, with invitees at a property for business purposes provided the most protection under the law.
How Does A San Pedro Premises Liability Lawyer Help You?
The Meissner Law Firm regularly represents clients in premises liability claims, and we have a long track record of recovering substantial compensation for those who have been hurt. Our compassionate and skilled legal professionals can help you through your case by:
- Identifying defendants who are liable for your losses, such as property owners or renters, and landlords who are responsible for hazardous conditions
- Proving your claim through eyewitness testimony, security camera footage, and expert testimony about how the incident occurred
- Demonstrating the extent of damage, including the non-economic losses you experienced and should be compensated for, such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress
- Negotiating on your behalf with property insurers, homeowner’s insurers, or business liability insurers to help you get a fair settlement offer so you can try to avoid court proceedings
- Going to court when necessary because insurers won’t make you a reasonable settlement offer
Meissner Law stands apart from other premises liability law firms because our team has litigation experience, so we can see your case through to the end and even if your case doesn’t settle.
You’ll also have contact with your lawyer, not just a case manager, through every step of your claim.
We are committed to providing compassionate advocacy backed by unparalleled legal skills because that’s the representation that you deserve.
