What Is Premises Liability?
All property owners are responsible for keeping their premises reasonably safe for visitors. Failing to do so can result in hazardous conditions and severe injuries when accidents occur. However, just because a person falls or is injured on someone else’s property doesn’t automatically make the business or property owner liable for the financial burden of those injuries. That’s not how the law works. A negligent breach of duty must be proven for a successful premises liability claim.
Common Causes of Premise Liability Accidents
Although not every premises liability accident results from a property owner’s negligence, many injuries are caused by unsafe property conditions. The most common causes of premises liability accidents include:
- Failure to provide adequate signage on slippery floors
- Failure to provide and maintain adequate outdoor lighting
- Failure to maintain safe walkways, sidewalks, and parking lots by patching cracks, ditches, and potholes
- Failure to provide sufficient signage warning pedestrians of falling materials
- Broken or missing handrails on stairwells, decks, or escalators
- Using excessive water, wax, or polish on flooring
- Failure to secure edges of rugs and carpeting
- Failure to supervise areas with a high risk of falls
