Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
If I buy a parcel of land with an easement across the property, and the easement road crosses an old bridge which is completely on my property, am I liable for the bridge repairs and any injuries someone may incur as a result of crossing my bridge?

�The owner of any easement in the nature of a private right-of-way or of any land to which any such easement is attached,shall maintain it in repair.� (Civ. Code, � 845, subd. (a).)
With respect to liability the owner of an easement may face liability if he fails to repair or correct a dangerous condition, and someone is injured because of it, even though the easement is on someone else's property.
