Premise Liability Attorneys
Premise liability is a legal concept which makes the person who owns land or premises liable for certain injuries that people can suffer on their property as a result of unsafe or defective conditions that typically result from negligence. In order to win a premise liability claim, the plaintiff must prove that negligence in ownership and/or maintenance of the premises on the part of the property owner is what caused their injury.
While simply being injured on someone else’s property does not automatically mean that they have not exercised reasonable care in the condition of their property, if the owner should have known that their premises were in an unsafe condition or they failed to properly maintain it, they can be held liable for injuries that result from these conditions. Property owners have a responsibility to regularly inspect their property to make sure that it is a safe environment, warn of any unsafe conditions while they work to have them remedied, and fix said unsafe conditions. Failure to do so means that you can file a premise liability claim against them for injuries that occur from said failures.
An experienced attorney from LeBaron & Jensen will be able to investigate your injury and its cause of it and gather evidence in order to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve in a premise liability claim.
Factors Impacting Premise Liability Cases
Many different kinds of personal injury cases fall under the umbrella of premise liability, including: slip and fall accidents, dog bites, poor lighting, faulty equipment, fires, toxic fumes or chemicals, inadequate security, inadequate maintenance, negligence, water leaks or flooding, swimming pool accidents, and more. There are many different factors that affect premise liability cases, ranging from the property owner’s duty of care to the types of property hazards which can cause injury.
The Property Owner’s Duty Of Care
While property owners have the responsibility to exercise reasonable care to ensure that their property has a safe environment for anyone who could enter the premises, in some states, there are laws which affect the property owner’s duty of care, depending on the nature of the person on their property. These are classified as: invitees, licensees, and trespassers.
- Invitee: An invitee is someone who has been invited onto the premises, such as a store customer or a social guest.
- Licensee: A licensee is someone who enters a property for their own purpose at the consent of the owner.
- Trespasser: A trespasser is someone who does not have permission to be on the premises, however, if the trespasser was a child, than the landowner has the duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable harm to them that can be caused by artificial conditions, as in the case where they have a swimming pool on their property.
Since the rules and regulations in regards to the property owner’s duty of care can be complex and vary from state to state, it’s important to consult with an attorney with potential premise liability cases.
Types Of Premise Liability Cases
Since premise liability cases include so many different types of personal injuries as a result of the property owner’s negligence, you may not know if you have a premise liability case on your hands. These cases can vary based on the individual circumstances, so if you want to know whether or not you can file a premise liability claim, you will want to schedule a case review with an attorney.
