Premises liability is a particular area of law that governs the rights and responsibilities of land and property owners. It is also an area of law that deems property owners responsible for injuries that are incurred by people who visit their property. For example, if a person visits a property and he/she falls and sustains an injury, the property owner may be held liable for the person’s accident and injury. Following are some examples of premises liability claims:
Property Owners & Liability
After a person has been injured while visiting another person’s property, the person may choose to file a premises liability lawsuit against the property owner. However, in order for the person to be successful, he/she must be able to prove that:
- the property owner is in possession of the land or property
- the property owner knew that a dangerous situation or hazardous condition was present on his/her land
- the property owner failed to rectify the hazardous condition or make the condition safe for other people
- he/she did not know about the dangerous condition and therefore sustained a serious injury
If people cannot sufficiently prove these elements, they will stand little chance of recovering compensation for their injuries. Therefore, in order for people to ensure that they receive maximum compensation for their injuries, medical expenses and pain and suffering, it is advised that they work with a skilled personal injury lawyer who has extensive experience in premises liability law, like the lawyers at the Law Offices of David D. Diamond.
