Those who own real estate are required to keep their property safe. This includes landlords, construction site operators, business owners, industrial plant managers—the list goes on. If someone is injured because of a dangerous condition, the property owner may be financially responsible to the people who are injured.
In California, premises liability is a cause of action against a property owner for the failure to keep the premises safe in a variety of ways.
