What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the legal concept that holds property owners, landlords, businesses, and managers responsible when someone is injured on their property due to unsafe conditions or negligence. These injuries can arise from poor maintenance, defective structures, inadequate security, lack of warnings, or dangerous design.

Common Types of Premises Liability Claims

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Broken or uneven walkways and sidewalks
  • Poor lighting or failure to warn of hazards
  • Inadequate security resulting in assault or injury
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Falling merchandise or objects
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Construction site hazards on private property

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Responsibility depends on who had control over the property and whether they acted reasonably to prevent harm. Those who may be held liable include property owners, landlords, property managers, commercial businesses, and tenants responsible for maintenance.

To prove liability, we must generally show:

  • The owner or manager knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition
  • They failed to repair it or provide proper warning
  • The hazard directly caused your injury

Types of Compensation Available

If you were injured due to unsafe property conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and future treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or scarring
  • Wrongful death damages (when applicable)
