What is Premises Liability?

The term ‘premises liability’ may not be familiar to you, but you’ve probably heard of ‘slip and fall’ injuries, where an individual is injured on someone else’s property, either residential or commercial. The law says that property owners are responsible for maintaining a safe property both inside and out, and if they fail to do so and you are injured, you can file a claim for compensation that may include:
  • Personal injury
  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Damage to personal belongings
  • Pain and suffering

Falls due to unsafe conditions can include:
  • Slipping on a slippery surface, such as a walkway that is covered with ice
  • Tripping over items that are carelessly placed in the walkway
  • Falling merchandise that strikes your head or body
  • Falling due to inadequate stair railings or irregular steps that are not in compliance with code
  • Falling on an uneven sidewalk
  • Falling into an exposed hole
