Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and managers responsible for injuries that occur on their properties. In order to have a valid premises liability claim, you must be able to prove that the property owner or manager was negligent in some way.

Some examples of negligence that can lead to a premises liability claim include:

• Failing to clean up spills in a timely manner
• Failing to repair broken stairs, handrails, or other safety features
• Failing to provide adequate security
• Failing to warn visitors of known hazards
• Failing to maintain the property

It is important to note that property owners are not automatically liable for injuries that occur on their properties. You must be able to prove that the property owner was negligent in some way.

Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides benefits to workers who are injured on the job.
