What Is Premises Liability?
When you file a personal injury claim against another party, your case is based on evidence that the other person failed in the duty to take reasonable precaution to avoid causing your accident. This duty extends to property owners, who have a responsibility to safeguard their guests and patrons against harm.
Provided that it can be proven that the owner knew-or should have known-about the conditions which caused your injuries, and failed to correct the situation, you have a right to demand to be compensated for all your losses.
Common Examples of Premises Liability Claims
You can potentially initiate legal action against a property owner over any type of accident, but some of the most commonly filed claims involve injuries suffered in slip and fall accidents, such as on a wet floor in a store, on a cluttered or poorly lit staircase or on a cracked or uneven sidewalk.
Swimming pool accidents are another common cause for injury claims, such as an owner failing to install fencing or a self-latching gate to keep unsupervised children out. It may even be possible to sue a landlord over a dog bite or an assault if the attack took place due to a lack of proper security measures.
