Premises liability is the responsibility property owners have to visitors and guests to keep their premises safe from hazards or conditions that might cause injuries. Like any personal injury case, a premises liability case is all about negligence. This means that another person or entity failed in their duty to keep their property safe and you, or a loved one, suffered injury. For example, let’s say you are in a grocery store, suddenly trip and fall, and break your leg. It turns out the reason you tripped was because your shoelace became untied. This would not be a valid premises liability case, as the grocery store played no part in your accident, even though it happened there. However, if you tripped and fell because a store associate left a crate unattended in the middle of the aisle without warning, you’d likely have a premises liability case due to the associate’s negligence. Strong premises liability claims hinge on the fact that a property owner had reasonable knowledge of the dangerous situation and failed to make remedies or repairs.
