Premises Liability

Property owners are legally responsible for the safety of those who visit their premises. The owner of property can be liable for an injury that occurs on their property if it can be proved that the owner's negligence caused the injury.

Premises liability cases require the injured person to prove that the dangerous condition that caused the injury was either created by the property owner, or was actually known (or should have been known) by the property owner yet they did nothing to prevent an obvious hazard from injuring someone.
