In California, in order to win a case involving injuries on someone else’s property, the injured person needs to prove four things:

1) The property owner had control over the property

2) The owner was negligent in how they maintained or used the property

3) The injured person was actually harmed,

4) The owner’s negligence was a significant factor in causing that harm.
