Basics of Premise Liability <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Premise liability refers to an area of the law that\nholds property owners legally responsible for any harm or damages caused to\npeople who are on their premises. For clarity, a property\u2019s \u201cpremise\u201d is\ndefined as inside and outside the property, sometimes including sidewalks and\naccess property. Furthermore, factors of premise liability differ depending on\nwhether the injured person was invited onto the property, licensed to enter the\nproperty, or trespassed onto the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situations like structural hazards, violence and\nassault, food poisoning, animal attacks, swimming pool accidents, and bonfires,\nare general examples of premise liability cases, however, one of the most\nprevalent types of premise liability cases involve slip and fall accidents. In\nthe case of snow and ice, if a store owner does not properly manage the removal\nof the accumulation on their premises, it can result in slippery walkways\noutside, slippery floors inside, obstructed fire escapes, unleveled surfaces,\ncar and pedestrian accidents, and other hazardous conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a property owner is aware of unsafe conditions or\nshould have been aware, and allows the unsafe conditions to continue by failing\nto eliminate all hazards, they are putting visitors and customers at risk of\nbeing injured. In such cases, if a person is involved in an accident caused by\na property owner\u2019s negligence, and as a result of the accident injuries occur,\nthe property owner could be held legally liable for that person\u2019s related\ndamages and losses, such as hospital bills, medical expenses, lost work wages,\npain, suffering, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
