What Is Premises Liability Law?

Premises liability is the area of law that determines when property owners or other parties may be responsible for injuries a person suffers in an accident on the property. For example, if you are shopping in a grocery store and slip on a clear liquid, suffering a broken wrist, premises liability law governs whether the grocery store is responsible; and therefore, liable for compensating you for your physical, emotional, and financial injuries.

Premises liability lawsuits are often complex and can be highly nuanced. Whether or not the property owner or another party, such as a tenant or maintenance provider, is liable for your injuries depends on several factors:

• Why you were on the property: Did you have permission to be there? Property owners do not owe the same duty of care to trespassers as they do invitees or licensees.
• Whether the hazard was concealed or open and obvious: Property owners are typically not responsible for injuries that result from open and obvious hazards that a guest or customer would be expected to notice and avoid.
• Whether or not you were careless or reckless: If there is evidence you acted in a negligent manner, the property owner can defend against a premises liability claim.
• Whether you suffered a compensable injury: If may be that the property owner or other party was negligent regarding their property and you were involved in an accident. However, you must be able to prove that you suffered an injury that the owner can compensate you for.

Additional Information about Premises Liability Law

Elements of a Premises Liability Lawsuit

Premises liability claims can be difficult to prove because you must establish several elements:

• You were an invitee on the property, and the owner owed you a duty of care.
• There was an unreasonably dangerous condition on the premises.
• The dangerous condition was hidden.
• The property owner knew or reasonably should have known about the hidden dangerous condition.
• You were unaware of the dangerous condition.
• You suffered a compensable injury due to the dangerous condition.

If you were a licensee and not an invitee, the elements of your case differ. Invitees must prove actual or constructive knowledge of the hidden unreasonably dangerous condition. However, for a licensee, you must prove the property owner had actual knowledge of the condition. This can be a higher standard, which is why it is important to work with an experienced and skilled attorney.
