Injured on Someone Else’s Property? You Have Rights—and We’re Here to Protect Them.
Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to keep their spaces safe. When they fail—and someone gets hurt—the consequences can be serious and long-lasting.
If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on public, private, or commercial property, The Law Office of Johann Hall can help. We represent individuals in Santa Rosa and across Northern California in premises liability claims, fighting for the compensation you deserve after a preventable accident.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to injuries caused by dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. These cases involve proving that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn others.
Common examples include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip hazards in parking lots or walkways
- Falling objects or unsecured displays
- Poor lighting or visibility
- Unsafe stairwells or broken railings
- Wet floors with no warning signs
- Injuries at apartment complexes or rental properties
- Accidents in retail stores, restaurants, or public venues
Injuries We Commonly See in Premises Liability Cases
- Broken bones and sprains
- Head trauma or concussion
- Back and spinal injuries
- Knee, hip, or shoulder injuries
- Lacerations or puncture wounds
- Permanent mobility limitations
What Compensation Can You Pursue?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to recover:
Medical bills and future care costs
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage (e.g., broken glasses, phones, etc.)
Why These Cases Can Be Challenging Without a Lawyer
Property owners—and their insurance companies—often deny responsibility or claim they had “no notice” of the hazard. We know how to gather the evidence, witness statements, and inspection records necessary to prove your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
About CIVIL Abuse
Do I need to report my fall or injury to the property owner?
Yes. Reporting the incident immediately can help preserve your rights and strengthen your claim. If possible, get a written report or incident form.
What if the property owner says I was at fault?
That’s common—but not necessarily true. We’ll investigate all the circumstances, including how long the hazard existed and whether warnings were posted.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury. However, if a public entity is involved (e.g., city-owned property), you may have just six months.
Can I file a claim if I was hurt at a friend’s house?
Yes. These claims are typically made against homeowners' insurance policies—not individuals—and don’t have to damage personal relationships.
What if there were no warning signs?
The absence of warnings is often a key part of proving negligence. We’ll help document what was (or wasn’t) in place at the time of your injury.
