Under the laws surrounding premises liability, it holds property owners responsible for any and all accidents that may occur on their premises. This could involve injuries that occur on residential property, or major accidents that occur in public spaces such as shopping malls, amusement parks, or parking lots.
Each property owner has a certain duty of care to maintain their land and premises, keeping as safe of an environment for guests, employees or other residents. This of course falls within reason, as it is understood that property owners are not able to prevent every kind of accident from happening. It is simply their job to do everything in their power to keep these kinds of incidents from occurring.
Common premises liability accidents include:
- Slip and falls
- Dog bites
- Negligent security
- Staircase accidents
- Electrocution
There are a myriad of reasons why a premise liability accident could occur, but it is important that if you have been injured at the hands of a negligent property owner, that you know how to obtain your rightful compensation.
