Premises Liability Locations
Someone can get injured at almost any location. But some of the most common premises liability cases are related to amusement park accidents, slip and falls, grocery stores, attacks by a dog or other animals, drownings, exposure to toxic substances or chemicals (mold, lead, asbestos, or unsanitary conditions), and ceiling leaks, broken stairwells, slippery surfaces, and improperly maintained structures. Typically, a landlord is the one who holds the duty to use reasonable care when maintaining a property. They must identify and correct any risks in the area within a reasonable timeframe and completely. Attempting to fix a hazard but not entirely can still make them liable if someone is injured because of it.
Elements Of Your Case
Premises liability laws can be quite complicated, which is why we suggest having our knowledgeable premises liability attorney consult with you about what happened. We can let you know if there are grounds to file a case against the property owner, landlord, or other party who caused you to sustain injury. Victims in a premises liability case have to show that the owners of the property committed one or more of the following:
- Failed to keep the property maintained or created an unsafe condition that led to injury or illness.
- Knew about the condition but did not let visitors know about the hazard.
- Acted, or failed to act, in a way that led to damage of neighboring properties.
- Attempted to address a hazard but did not fix it within an acceptable period.
