Premises liability covers injuries caused by hazards on someone else’s property, such as slips, trips, or unsafe maintenance.
To win, you generally must show the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors.
Premises liability is the legal framework that holds property owners responsible for dangers on their premises that cause injury. The rules vary by location and the relationship between the injured person and the property owner.
Key elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, evidence gathering, negotiation, and, if needed, filing a claim.
Glossary of terms commonly used in premises liability cases to help you understand the process.
A property owner or manager has a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe for visitors and to fix hazards or provide warnings.
Actual or constructive notice means the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it.
