What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability laws apply when negligent property owners either create dangerous conditions or allow them to exist. These hazardous conditions can then lead to the injury of another party, and the property owner may be financially responsible.
What Injuries Fall Under Premises Liability?
Premises liability law can cover a range of cases where someone could be injured due to a property owner’s negligence, such as:
- Negligent security: This often applies in hotels, apartment buildings, dormitories and other such areas. It could include a lack of promised security or security failures, like a broken lock on a hotel window.
- Dog bites: When a dog bites, the owner is often responsible for not properly containing or controlling the animal. Children face the greatest risks.
- Slip and falls: These accidents can happen on wet floors, icy sidewalks or outdoor staircases. Property owners must address known hazards.
- Swimming pool accidents: These could include accidents where there are negligent safety officials or where conditions are not safe for swimming. It could also include missing warning signs, such as No Diving signs.
- Inadequate maintenance: This is often an issue in apartments. Property owners must take the necessary steps to create a safe living space.
These are just a few examples, and our experienced attorneys can assist in every case. We can help you consider potential costs, necessary evidence and the legal steps needed to seek compensation.
