Premises Liability

Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability law holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a safe environment for visitors. When someone is injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions, the property owner may be liable for the resulting damages. Navigating a premises liability case requires a thorough understanding of legal standards and property owner responsibilities.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Slip and Fall Accidents: Injuries caused by slipping or tripping on wet floors, uneven surfaces, or debris.
Negligent Security: Harm resulting from inadequate security measures, such as insufficient lighting, broken locks, or lack of security personnel, leading to assaults or robberies.
Dog Bites: Injuries from dog attacks due to owner negligence or failure to control the animal.
Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning or injuries resulting from unsafe pool areas, lack of fencing, or improper supervision.
Fire and Electrical Hazards: Injuries caused by faulty wiring, lack of fire alarms, or unsafe heating equipment.
Building Code Violations: Injuries due to non-compliance with building codes, such as unsafe staircases, balconies, or railings.
