Is it true that a property owner has the responsibility to keep their property safe?

I don't think so. If the idiot crook fell because of his own carelessness it wouldn't matter who and why the ladder was there.

Can I sue for being injured at my internship?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
Yes, you can, assuming that you can prove the negligence. You were not an employee, therefore you are not covered by worker's comp and so you can pursue a liability action. See an experienced personal injury lawyer in your area. Seriously, this is not something you can do on your own.

What are remedies if I sue for breach of contract?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
As in most things in the law, it depends. It usually depends on what damages you are seeking. Here are the general rules: Civil Code section 3300 provides: For the breach of an obligation arising from contract, the measure of damages, except where otherwise expressly provided by this code, is the amount which will compensate the party aggrieved for all the detriment proximate caused thereby, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom.The detriment that is likely to result therefrom? Is that which is foreseeable to the breaching party at the time the contract is entered into. (Wallis v. Farmers Group, Inc. (1990) 220 Cal.App.3d 718, 737 [269 Cal.Rptr. 299], internal citation omitted.) Restatement Second of Contracts, section 351, provides: (1) Damages are not recoverable for loss that the party in breach did not have reason to foresee as a probable result of the breach when the contract was made. (2) Loss may be foreseeable as a probable result of a breach because it follows from the breach (a) in the ordinary course of events, or (b) as a result of special circumstances, beyond the ordinary course of events, that the party in breach had reason to know. (3) A court may limit damages for foreseeable loss by excluding recovery for loss of profits, by allowing recovery only for loss incurred in reliance, or otherwise if it concludes that in the circumstances justice so requires in order to avoid disproportionate compensation.
