What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability describes a variety of legal claims that can result from a dangerous condition on another person’s or company’s property. The most common premises liability claims arise from slip, trip, and fall accidents but can include any type of injury, including injuries from falling ice, amusement park accidents, drownings, electrocutions, faulty railings or stairs, poor lighting, and the like. Call us if you or a loved one has been injured on someone else’s property. We can help.
Common Causes of Premises Liability
- Slip, Trip, and Fall Hazards – Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or ice
- Building defects that cause injury
- Inadequate Maintenance – Broken stairs, loose handrails, or faulty elevators
- Poor Lighting – Inadequately lit hallways, parking lots, or stairwells
- Negligent Security – Lack of security cameras or guards in high-risk areas or guards who respond improperly
- Falling Objects – Unsecured merchandise or debris from shelves or construction
- Dog Bites or Animal Attacks – Property owners failing to control aggressive pets
- Toxic Exposure – Mold, asbestos, or hazardous chemicals on the premises
Common Injuries in Premises Accidents
Premises liability accidents can lead to many kinds of injuries. These injuries include everything from death or paralysis to more common injuries such as fractures, ligament tears, herniated discs, and closed head traumatic brain injuries. Victims may also suffer burns or electrocution injuries from electrical hazards, respiratory issues or death from toxic exposure, or lacerations or loss of limbs from defective structures. These injuries can require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and impact a person’s ability to work and live comfortably, and in some instances result in death. If you or a family member suffered an injury due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation.
