Spring Cleaning and Premises Liability: Keeping California Properties Safe

Over a Billion Dollars Recovered for Injured Californians
Spring Cleaning and Premises Liability
|

Spring is upon us, and it's time for some much-needed spring cleaning. Not only is this an excellent opportunity to declutter your home or business, but it's also an opportunity to take care of any maintenance issues that may have been neglected during the winter months. However, keeping safety in mind is crucial as you tidy up your property. California has strict laws regarding premises liability, which means that property owners can be held responsible for injuries on their premises.

1. Assess Your Property

Before you start spring cleaning:

  • Take the time to assess your property for any potential hazards.
  • Look for loose railings or steps, uneven surfaces, or cluttered walkways that could cause someone to trip or fall.
  • If you find anything that needs attention, ensure it gets repaired immediately.

2. Clear Out Clutter

One of the biggest culprits of slips and falls is cluttered walkways. Take the time to clear out any unnecessary items from your property and create clear pathways for people to walk through. This reduces the risk of injury and makes your property look more organized and inviting.

3. Use Caution When Using Chemicals

When you clean your property, you may encounter hazardous chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. Be sure to use these chemicals cautiously and follow all safety guidelines on their packaging. Use natural cleaning solutions that are safer for people and the environment.

4. Enlist Professional Help

If maintenance issues on your property require professional attention, such as electrical or plumbing problems, don't try to fix them yourself unless you're trained. Enlist the help of a qualified professional to ensure that the job is done safely and correctly.

5. Understand Premises Liability

Finally, it's essential to understand your responsibilities as a property owner regarding premises liability. This means you must maintain a safe environment for anyone visiting your property. If someone is injured on your property due to negligence, you could be held liable for their injuries and required to pay damages.
