Premises liability covers injuries caused by dangerous conditions on property owned or controlled by others, including stores, apartments, and public spaces.
To succeed, you typically must show a duty of care, a breach of that duty, and a link between the breach and your injuries.

Elements include duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The process often involves gathering evidence, notifying the at fault party, negotiating with insurers, and, if needed, pursuing a lawsuit in court.
