Premises Liability
Property Owners Have Responsibilities
The responsibility of a property owner regarding the safety of their premises is significant. This responsibility impacts the integrity and safety of those who enter the property. Being in a safe place without hazards is vital for those who enter or utilize that property. However, some property owners overlook the required protocols, leading to unfortunate accidents.
Construction problems, unstable structures, design errors, lighting issues, stairway risks, electrical installation failures – these are just a few of the hazards that cause premises liability injuries. There are many elements a property owner must be aware of, and address, to ensure the safety of those who live in or visit their premises. It is the owner’s duty to keep their property safe and free of hazards.
It's Your Right
A premises liability claim is valid when the injured party proves that the property owner knew, or should have known, about the property’s safety hazards or defects and did nothing to correct them. This means they did not communicate the danger, warn others, and did not make the necessary repairs to fix the problem. When you are injured due to the property’s hazardous conditions, a legal claim may be initiated to assert your rights. Our firm can successfully assist you in this process.
What if the property owner couldn’t prevent the accident? It is true that unforeseen situations can cause damage to a structure and pose a significant danger to others. However, if it is proven that there was negligence in addressing that unforeseen situation, you may have a solid premises liability claim.
The most common type of premises liability claims involve slip and fall accidents. Many times, property owners are negligent and do not make the necessary adjustments to provide safety to people in their business or residence, putting their lives at risk. This may include not warning them about wet, slippery, uneven, or torn surfaces that could lead to a slip, trip, or fall.
