What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to when property owners are held responsible for hazardous physical conditions on their property. Building owners and landowners are responsible for warning their visitors or tenants about possible hazards on their property that could hurt them. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their property to keep it safe for their visitors and residents.
Do you Have a Premises Liability Case?
Whether or not you have a strong case for premises liability is dependent upon several factors:
- The owner of the premises was knowledgeable about a slippery or damaged floor or surface, but failed to fix it.
- The owner of the premises failed to notify or display signs of a potentially dangerous floor, surface, or property.
- The owner of the premises is the one who damaged the floor or property.
In order to have a strong premises liability case, your slip-and-fall accident should generally occur outside of your home. However, if your slip-and-fall accident was caused by a damaged floor or surface in your home that your previous homeowners or real estate agents did not make you aware of, you may have a premises liability case. This would also apply if you are the renter of the home. A premises liability case could also be made if you fell as a result of damaged property in an apartment building, a store, or some other venue.
