Navigating Premises Liability Claims in Colfax
Premises liability law holds property owners liable for injuries sustained due to unsafe conditions, such as wet floors, defective stairways, or inadequate security. To win, you must show that the owner owed you a duty of care, violated that duty of care, and caused you to be injured. In Colfax, where accidents may occur in shopping centers, trails, or private properties, Brian P. Azemika provides expert guidance to clarify your rights and pursue compensation effectively.
What Defines a Premises Liability Case?
Injuries occurring on someone else's property due to dangerous conditions can lead to a premises liability case. Slips and falls, improper property maintenance, and inadequate protection against hazardous circumstances are common premises liability instances. There are several important factors to consider when evaluating premises liability, including the duty owed by the property owner, the nature of the visitor (such as invitees, licensees, or trespassers), and the cause of the injury that determines liability for compensation purposes. Premises liability cases are often detailed and require investigation to determine the true nature of the conditions on the property, thereby establishing liability.
Essential Elements of a Premises Liability Claim
To put together a strong premises liability claim, you need to demonstrate:
- The property owner owed you a duty of care.
- The owner breached this duty by failing to address or warn about hazards.
- The breach directly caused your injury.
Brian P. Azemika gathers evidence, such as photos, witness statements, and maintenance records, to support your claim and meet California's two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases.

TESTIMONIALS
Brian Azemika fought for me when others thought my case was a lost cause. Brian Azemika took over my case with only a few weeks to prepare prior to trial. His knowledge and expertise showed in how he prepared me for my testimony at trial. He also had a great presence in the courtroom and really connected with the jury during the entire trial. He did such a great job in the eyes of the jury that many of them approached him after the trial and asked him for his business card. Thanks to Mr. Azemika, the jury returned a verdict for $400,000.00, which was amazing since the settlement offer from the insurance company was for only $45,000.00 on the first day of trial. I am so glad that Brian Azemika was my trial attorney.
