What Is Premises Liability?

Property owners have a duty to either keep their land and structures safe for guests or to warn those guests of any dangers on the property. If they fail to do so and their negligence results in an injury to a guest, they could face a premises liability lawsuit.

Common Premises Liability Accidents

There are countless ways you can injure yourself while visiting a retail store, a building complex or a private home. Some common premises liability cases fall into one of the following categories:

• Slip-and-falls – Sometimes referred to as trip-and-fall, such instances involve a person slipping on a wet or icy surface or tripping on a walking hazard, resulting in back or head injuries or even broken bones.

• Falling objects – Many stores have goods placed on high objects, which can fall and cause head injuries.

• Pool injuries – Pools can be a source of many injuries, including slipping on wet surfaces and drownings.

• Negligent security – You could be injured in a crowd or attacked when a criminal takes advantage of dark, poorly lit areas that lack security.

These are just a few examples of possible problem areas. If you have questions about your own injury, we are here to provide you with answers.
