Some common examples of premises liability include slips and falls due to wet floors or a broken step; inadequate security measures resulting in injury to visitors, such as an assault by another person; defective conditions leading to injury, such as a loose handrail on a stairway; and negligent supervision that causes harm, like leaving children unattended. In addition, property owners can be held liable for such things as lead paint poisoning, structural collapse, electric shock and fire hazards. If a visitor is injured due to any of these conditions, the owner may be responsible for damages.
