Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises liability covers a wide range of injury claims involving unsafe property conditions.



Common cases include:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting can lead to serious injuries.

Negligent Property Maintenance

Failure to repair dangerous conditions or maintain safe environments can create liability.

Apartment and Rental Property Injuries

Landlords and property managers are responsible for maintaining safe common areas.

Retail and Commercial Property Accidents

Stores and businesses must address hazards that could harm customers.

Security and Negligent Security Claims

Inadequate security measures can contribute to preventable injuries or incidents.

Each case depends on the facts, but the central issue is whether the property owner failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment.

What to Do After an Injury on Unsafe Property

If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions, the steps you take early can affect your case.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible

Property conditions are often fixed quickly after an incident, and evidence can disappear.


If you’re unsure what to do next, speaking with a Walnut Creek premises liability lawyer can help you protect your position and avoid common mistakes.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Injuries caused by unsafe property conditions can have lasting effects.


Depending on your situation, compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and physical discomfort
  • Long-term or permanent limitations


These cases often involve proving that a property owner knew—or should have known—about a dangerous condition and failed to address it.


Understanding what your case may be worth is not always straightforward, which is why many people speak with a Walnut Creek premises liability lawyer early in the process.

Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes

Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys

A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.


Why every adult needs a will

Protecting your family starts with preparation

Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
