PREMISES LIABILITY LAWSUITS

Property owners, including home owners, businesses and landlords, have a duty to people who come onto their property to protect them from dangerous conditions or defects which may cause a slip and fall injury. They owe a duty to use reasonable care to see that those portions of the property which the visitor is likely to use are safe.

Examples of some defects which may exist and result in a personal injury claims for premises liability include:

  • Snow or ice which is not properly removed or treated
  • Liquid from a leak or spill
  • A rug, cord or other object which creates a hazard in a walkway or path
  • Water from cleaning the floors for which there are inadequate warnings
  • Defective pavement or steps which cause a fall

While there is no duty to warn of open and obvious defects which exist, if the visitor’s conduct was not unreasonable under the circumstances, the property owner may be liable for a defect on the property which causes an injury.

When you fall on another person’s property it is not automatic that they will be responsible for your injuries. You must establish that the property owner is negligent and therefore liable for the damages you suffered as a result of your fall down injury.
