What happens in a premises liability claim?

Premises liability claims include a wide range of incidents, including:

To maintain a successful premises liability claim, you must first be able to prove that the defendant owned, occupied, leased, or otherwise was in control of the property at the time of the accident. You must also be able to prove that the defendant was negligent in maintaining the property. Those owners or managers of property owe a duty of care in making sure that their property is reasonably safe. The level of this duty owed to a person may depend on what kind of person is visiting the property.

For example, if a person was expressly or implicitly given permission to go on the property, the property owner or lessee has a duty of reasonable care in providing safe property conditions. The property owner also has a duty to warn people of known dangerous conditions, or conditions about which they should be aware with inspection. Also of note is that trespassers are generally owed less of a duty by the property owner or lessee.  They entered the property without permission.  The big exception to this general rule can be if the trespasser was a minor child.

In addition to proving that the property owner acted negligently and violated the duty they owed to you as someone entering their property, you must be able to prove that you were harmed as a result of this negligence. It is also important to note that you have a duty to exercise reasonable care when on another’s property. You need to keep a safe look out or your fault will be compared.  If you failed in this duty and contributed to the accident which caused your injuries, your fault may be compared.  This may mean that you still may be able to recover damages, but recovery will be reduced by the percentage of fault you are attributed for causing the accident.

What can I be compensated for in a premises liability claim?

First and foremost, you are entitled to compensation for the medical expenses related to the treatment of the injuries you sustained in the premises liability accident. Sometimes med pay insurance pays bills when there is yet to be fault shown. Injuries involved in premises liability claims can be varied, but often include:
