What Happens if I Fall on Private vs. Public Property in California?

Video Transcript

You might have a premises liability case if you were injured on private property or on public land. If you’re injured on private property, you typically have two years to file your lawsuit. However, if you’re injured on public land, in a government building, or on government land, you typically have six months to notify them of your injuries.

In all circumstances, if you are injured on the premises of a property, you should contact a lawyer so they can quickly determine whether it involves a governmental entity or another responsible party and establish the appropriate deadline by which you need to notify the court or the responsible party of your injuries.
