Accidents on someone else’s property can cause life-altering injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and weeks or months of recovery. Whether you slipped on wet floors in a grocery store, suffered injuries caused by unsafe conditions at a construction site, or were harmed by inadequate security on public property, you may have a premises liability claim under California law.
At Blackhawk Law Group, our San Jose personal injury lawyers represent clients who have been injured due to the negligence of property owners, landlords, or other responsible parties. Each member of our legal team brings valuable experience in personal injury cases, helping clients pursue legal remedies when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, as allowed under California law.
When you choose our law firm, you work directly with an experienced premises liability attorney, not a call center. We prepare each case thoroughly with the possibility of trial in mind, even though many cases are resolved through settlement.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Experience with all types of premises liability: From slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and swimming pool accidents to escalator accidents and hazardous conditions on public property, we’ve handled a wide range of cases.
California law focus: Our attorneys understand the different rules that apply to property owners, landlords, and businesses throughout San Jose.
Trial-ready legal team: If an insurance company refuses to offer fair monetary compensation, we are prepared to take your case to court.
No upfront fees: You only pay attorney’s fees if we recover compensation for you. Court costs and case expenses may be your responsibility.
At Blackhawk Law Group, our clients benefit from dedicated representation by two accomplished trial attorneys:
Amir Guedoir – A Harvard Law School graduate fluent in English, Arabic, and French, Amir has represented injury victims across California in cases involving slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and wrongful death. He is known for his strategic approach and commitment to clients.
Samual Dollar – A U.S. Navy veteran and graduate of McGeorge School of Law, Sam has represented clients in serious premises liability claims and other injury cases. Raised on a Native American reservation, he brings discipline, compassion, and clarity to his advocacy.
Both attorneys understand the serious consequences of injuries occurring on someone else’s property and are committed to helping victims pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, depending on the facts of their case.
We are honored to be recognized among the Top 10 Personal Injury Law Firms in California. This distinction reflects our commitment to exceptional results, client-focused service, and relentless advocacy for injury victims across the state.

– San Jose Resident
Our firm regularly handles premises liability cases arising from:
Slip and fall accidents on wet floors, cracked sidewalks, or defective stairways.
Dog bites when a property owner knew of an animal’s aggressive behavior but failed to protect visitors.
Swimming pool accidents due to lack of fencing, warning signs, or other safety measures.
Construction site hazards, including falls and injuries caused by hazardous materials.
Inadequate security in parking lots, apartment complexes, or public venues leading to assaults or robberies.
Escalator accidents and other injuries caused by dangerous conditions in shopping centers and airports.
In each liability case, we determine whether the property owner failed to exercise reasonable care, whether the duty of care was breached, and who should be held liable for the unsafe conditions.
San Jose is California’s third-largest city, with a population of over 970,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With such a large community and busy commercial areas, the risk of injuries occurring on other property remains high.
Key safety statistics include:
Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the United States, particularly among older adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In California, unintentional falls lead to tens of thousands of emergency department visits every year, as reported by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Nationwide, dog bites cause more than 800,000 injuries requiring medical attention annually, based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
These statistics highlight how common premises liability cases can be and why holding a negligent property owner accountable is essential when they fail to maintain safe conditions.
Under California law, property owners and landlords have a legal duty to keep their premises in a safe condition and to warn of known hazards. When a property owner failed to take proper safety measures, they can be held responsible for the injuries caused.
If you are injured on else’s property, you may have the right to pursue monetary compensation under California law for:
Medical bills and ongoing medical expenses
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Costs related to long-term care after a serious injury case
