Rather than charging hourly or requiring upfront payments, the lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the compensation obtained from the case.

When we enter public or private property, we trust that it’s safe and well-maintained. However, not all property owners meet their responsibilities, which can lead to dangerous conditions and injuries. In California, premises liability laws protect individuals who are injured on another person’s property due to negligence. Understanding these laws can help you know your rights if you’re injured and what property owners are obligated to do to keep you safe. At Shaumyan & Derbarseghian, LLP, we advocate for clients affected by property-related injuries, helping them pursue the compensation they deserve.
