California Premises Liability Lawyer Wins Compensation for Injuries

Knowledgeable lawyer represents slip-and-fall victims in Orange County and the Inland Empire

A slip and fall or other accident at a business or residential premises can result in significant injuries requiring substantial medical care and can also lead to loss of earnings. Victims should not have to bear these costs personally when the accident occurred as a result of the property owner’s negligence. The Menicucci Law Group, with offices in the cities of Corona and Orange, represents victims of premises accidents throughout Southern California. Michael Menicucci is known for applying skillful legal strategies designed to bring about fair and adequate compensation for his clients.

Skilled attorney represents individuals injured in a range of accidents

A premises liability case arises from an injury that occurs because of a safety hazard that the property owner knew or should have known of but failed to remediate or warn about. Examples are tripping on a loose floorboard in someone else’s home or slipping on spilled liquid in a store or restaurant. Although slips and falls resulting from improper maintenance are the most common grounds for lawsuits, Mr. Menicucci has experience handling a range of premises liability cases, including those arising from:

• Inadequate security — A building owner or operator that fails to take proper safety measures can be liable to a victim of assault by an intruder.
• Dog bites — Owners may be held liable if a pet or other animal on the premises attacks another person, causing injuries.
• Fires — Property owners have a responsibility to ensure their building is reasonably protected from fires, such as by installing smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. If they fail in that duty and injuries occur as a result, victims may be compensated.
• Toxic substances — A visitor’s exposure to hazardous materials like asbestos or deadly chemicals on a premises can be cause for liability.

If you have sustained an injury or illness because of any accident or incident on a business or residential property, Mr. Menicucci has the legal knowledge to determine if you have grounds for a premises liability lawsuit.

Strategic law firm helps victims prove negligence

Premises liability lawsuits are based on property owners’ failure to exercise reasonable care to keep the property in a condition that is safe for visitors and others who may be expected to enter. To make a successful claim requires proof of the following elements:

• The defendant had a duty to inspect and maintain the property.
• The defendant failed to ensure the safety of the property.
• The plaintiff suffered harm.
• The injury was the result of the defendant’s negligence.

Mr. Menicucci draws upon his knowledge and experience to build solid cases, aided by investigators, medical experts and other consultants to establish the defendant’s liability and the extent of the plaintiff’s damages.
