In personal injury law, premises liability refers to a property owner’s responsibility for injuries that result from hazardous conditions on the property. Premises liability cases are based on negligence, so the plaintiff must prove that their injury was caused by the property owner’s failure to maintain safe conditions on their premises.
Slip and Fall Accidents
The most common type of premises liability case involves slips and falls. Dangerous conditions that can lead to such accidents include:
- Wet floors
- Icy sidewalks
- Broken pavement
- Inadequate lighting
- Unsafe stairs
