Premises Liability
Table of Contents
Most people think if you are injured on another person’s property then the property owner is automatically responsible for the injury. This is not true. In premises liability, you must prove that the property owner should have known about the dangerous conditions yet failed to do something about it.
Premises liability involves claims by a person who is injured on another person’s property. The injured person may bring a claim against the owner or the person or business in control of the property at the time of the injury.
An owner isn’t liable simply because an injury occurred on their property. Like much of personal injury law, proving that the owner was negligent is essential. The law requires property owners to keep their grounds reasonably free of hazards to others. When they fail to do so, people can get hurt or killed.
When this happens, victims and their families need to seek justice. If you or a loved one were injured on someone else’s property, contact us at 877-591-1801 to set up a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your options.
Examples of Premises Liability Cases
Elevators, Escalators, Automatic Doors
When these devices suffer a mechanical failure, it is often due to a product defect, improper maintenance or inadequate inspections.
Falling Objects
Shoppers in these establishments can be hurt when merchandise falls and lands on them.
Swimming Pool Accidents
An owner can be held liable for a guest’s injury in a pool if the owner failed to provide proper equipment or supervision.
Poorly Maintained Grounds
Shoppers can be injured when they walk in store aisles that are not properly cleared of hazardous debris. The responsibility for maintain grounds often extends to the sidewalk in front of a property.
