What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners responsible for accidents and injuries that occur on their property due to negligence or unsafe conditions. These incidents can happen in various settings, including:

Private Residences: Slip and fall accidents, dog bites, or swimming pool accidents.
Commercial Establishments: Stores, restaurants, malls, or office buildings where hazards like wet floors, inadequate security, or faulty construction can lead to accidents.
Public Spaces: Parks, government buildings, or sidewalks that may pose dangers to pedestrians.

Common Premises Liability Incidents:

Slip and Falls: Accidents caused by wet or slippery surfaces, uneven flooring, or debris.
Trip and Falls: Occur due to obstacles, uneven sidewalks, or poorly maintained areas.
Negligent Security: Incidents that happen because of inadequate security measures, leading to assaults or injuries.
Dog Bites: Injuries caused by a property owner's pet, whether on private or public property.
Structural Defects: Injuries resulting from poorly maintained or defective buildings, such as collapsing balconies or unstable stairs.
Swimming Pool Accidents: Drownings, slip and falls, or injuries due to insufficient safety measures around pools.
Inadequate Maintenance: Accidents stemming from a lack of property maintenance, including damaged handrails, electrical issues, or malfunctioning elevators.

Proving Liability

To have a valid premises liability claim, you typically need to establish the following elements:

Duty of Care: The property owner owed you a duty of care to maintain a safe environment.
Breach of Duty: The property owner failed to fulfill their duty by either causing the dangerous condition or not addressing it in a timely manner.
Causation: The unsafe condition directly led to your injuries.
Damages: You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result.

Your Rights and Compensation

If you've been injured on someone else's property due to their negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for:

Medical Expenses: Including hospital bills, surgeries, medication, and ongoing treatment.
Lost Wages: If your injuries have prevented you from working.
Pain and Suffering: For the physical and emotional distress caused by the incident.
Wrongful Death: If you've lost a loved one due to a premises liability incident.
