Premises liability is the body of law that makes the owners of property or those occupying it responsible for certain injuries suffered on the premises. Although certain premises liability cases, such as slip and fall cases, may appear to be cut and dry, some state laws actually favor the property owners. For personal injury victims to obtain fair compensation, it is necessary to secure an experienced premises liability lawyer.
According to premises liability law, a landowner or occupant has a duty to exercise care and warn or otherwise protect other people from harm. If a property owner or the party responsible for maintaining the site fails to provide a safe environment or adequately warn of danger, and as a result someone is injured, then the owner or responsible party can be held liable for the victim's injuries. The injured person may recoup medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Premises liability applies to homeowners, businesses, even owners of vacant or abandoned lots.

Proving liability in a slip and fall accident lawsuit requires the assistance of experienced lawyers. Your attorney must show that the property owner (or party responsible for maintaining the property) failed to take proper precautions to make slipping or tripping unlikely. Additionally, your legal team must demonstrate that you exercised reasonable care and that your own negligence was not the cause of the accident. A slip and fall accident attorney must therefore prove that the cause of the accident was a “dangerous condition” (one that presents a reasonable risk to a person) and that the owner / maintainer of the property should have known of the danger.
