What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal responsibility for accidents and injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or improperly maintained conditions. Some common premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents: Wet floors, icy sidewalks, or uneven surfaces can cause dangerous falls.
- Inadequate security: Property owners may be liable for injuries caused by criminal acts if they failed to provide adequate security measures.
- Falling objects: Objects falling from shelves or ceilings can cause serious injuries.
- Swimming pool accidents: Lack of proper safety measures can lead to drowning or other injuries in and around pools.
- Dog bites: Property owners can be held liable for dog attacks if the animal was not properly controlled.
- Fire hazards: Unsafe conditions that lead to fires can result in severe injuries or fatalities.

To succeed in a premises liability claim, you must prove the following:
