What Does the Law Say?

Premises liability law applies to anyone who owns a property. This means that it applies to anyone from a homeowner to a shopping mall owner. It may also apply to someone who is leasing a property or a tenant in a rental property. Property owners have certain obligations to the public under local, state, and federal laws. When these laws are violated, and public spaces are not kept safe for guests, property owners can be held responsible for any accidents resulting in injury that occur on their property.

How Does a Premises Liability Case Come About?

If someone is injured on another person’s property, and the injury is due to the owner’s failure to make the property safe, there could be a premises liability lawsuit. A few more requirements include: 

• The property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous situation.
• The property owner failed to repair or give adequate warning of the danger.
• The injured person did, in fact, sustain an injury from the dangerous situation.

It is important to note that a property owner typically cannot be held responsible for injuries that result from things that they did not know about. In other words, guests must still exercise smart decisions on other people’s property and take care not to injure themselves.

Slippery walkways due to water or snow, defective sidewalks, building code violations, loose wires, and poor construction are all examples of conditions that a property owner has the duty to control.

Accidents that fall under premises liability can include slip and fall incidents, negligent security, and electricity incidents.
