Premises Liability

Injury accidents caused by a defective or dangerous property, either inside a building or outside, are called "premises liability" accidents. Premises can be dangerous for all kinds of reasons - faulty design, poor construction or building materials, poor maintenance, or clutter. Dangerous premises can lead to all kind of accidents that then lead to severe injuries. These accidents can take place on commercial premises, private residence, rental property and even public property.

The owner or occupier of the property owes a duty to all people on their property to protect them from dangerous or defective conditions on the property.

While individuals also have a personal duty to watch where they are walking, property owners have a duty to keep their establishments safe. As mentioned above, this may be anywhere, including, but not limited to: homes, grocery stores, malls, restaurants, hotels or commercial buildings. Examples of premises liability may be:
