Premises Liability Laws in California.

California premises-liability law applies a unified reasonable-care standard to landowners and occupiers under Rowland v. Christian, 69 Cal. 2d 108 (1968). The 2-year personal-injury statute of limitations at Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1 applies to most premises claims, and California follows pure comparative fault, so a partially at-fault plaintiff can still recover a reduced award.
