Fall & Premises Liability
Premises liability generally refers to slip-or-trip-and-fall accidents that occur due to the negligent maintenance, or unsafe conditions upon property owned by someone other than the injured victim. The owner or possessor of a residence, land or place of business has the duty to exercise reasonable care for the protection of those individuals who are invited to come upon the premises, i.e., individuals visiting for business or pleasure. It is crucial to a premises liability case to be able to prove how long the object, substance, or defect inflicting the injury was present, how visible it was, and how much notice the owner had of the dangerous condition before the accident. Defects that lead to premises liability can include uneven or broken pavement, wet or slippery floors, code violations on sidewalks or streets, or other dangerous conditions on premises. Most businesses and homeowners carry liability insurance to protect them in the event that someone is injured while on their property. Those injured by a negligent owner or possessor of a premise may recover damages for their injuries, including loss of income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
