Yes, it is possible. Every situation is different; therefore you must consult with a California premises liability attorney to ascertain where responsibility for your injury lies. Generally speaking, a landowner must exercise reasonable care for the safety of persons on his premises. If the landowner knew, or should have known, of the danger of being injured, by the negligent or willful or criminal behavior of others on his premises, then he (may have) had a duty to provide adequate security to prevent foreseeable injury. Please call us to speak with a California premises liability lawyer regarding your specific circumstances.
