A Store\u2019s Liability<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Retail stores, like all public and private properties,\nhave a duty of reasonable care to keep their environments free of hazards and\nunsafe conditions. In the case where a retail store neglects to uphold their\nlegal standard of care, and as a result a person is injured on their premises,\nthey could be held legally liable for the victim\u2019s damages and losses and their\ninsurance carrier would be responsible for paying any judgment or settlement on\nbehalf of the retail store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under tort law, this legal principle is known as premise liability<\/a><\/em>. The type or extent of liability a retail store can be subjected to really depends on broad spectrum of factors, especially whether or not the victim was invited onto the property, licensed to enter the property, or trespassed onto the property. The law classifies customers and guests as invitees<\/em>, whether paying or not, therefore under law, all customers are entitled to protection under a reasonable care standard from harm while on the store property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A property\u2019s \u201cpremise\u201d is defined as inside and\noutside of a property, including sidewalks, parking lots, and gates,\nstaircases, parking garages, and more.  Where the lines are drawn is fact\nsensitive. Cases of premise liability can involve various types of accidents\nand injuries. The most common accidents are slip, trip, and fall accidents.\nOther common types of premise liability accidents include structural hazards,\northopedic injuries, burn injuries, violence and assault, food poisoning,\nanimal attacks, pedestrian accidents, swimming pool accidents, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
