Premise Liability/Slip & Fall

Property owners, the hospitality industry and commercial enterprises have a responsibility to ensure the safety of the public by safely maintaining their property and posting visible warnings of unsafe conditions.

The term "premises liability" generally refers to accidents that occur due to the negligent maintenance, or unsafe or dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Many states have laws that generally require landowners to maintain their property in a manner that does not cause injury to those that, for various reasons, visit the property. Often, these laws pertain to both business owners and homeowners.

Property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises. If you are injured because a property owner or a business establishment fails to provide a safe environment, you may have a right to bring a claim for damages incurred due to your injury.

Following are a few types of premise liability cases:

1. Slip and fall incidents at commercial establishments caused by liquids or foreign substances
2. Trip and fall incidents caused by poorly lit or other unsafe property conditions
3. Construction site accidents and
4. Assault by employees or business patrons
