Are Children Safe While They Are in School?

In Premises Liability Cases, How Does CA Law Define
California public property owners are held accountable for maintaining premises that are safe to visitors, but accidents happen frequently and occur virtually anywhere. Visitors may sustain back injuries from slip-and-fall incidents on a wet grocery store floor, or suffer fatal injuries when struck on the head by a heavy falling object. Regardless of the severity of the injuries, California law recognizes that accident victims can potentially be at fault based on the specifics of the given situation when they fail to take reasonable care.
When other motorists clearly cause auto accidents, the accident victims commonly turn first to filing claims with the auto insurance companies of the at-fault parties. This option typically provides the most efficient method for obtaining funds to pay for injuries and other damages.

Whether they drive in heavy L.A. traffic or on the open road, however, just about any Los Angeles accident lawyer can point to unusual trucker distractions that lead to serious accidents.
