Whenever an injury or accident occurs to a tenant or visitor on another person’s property, the property owner may be legally responsible (liable) if it can be shown that the landowner’s negligence caused the injury. If you have suffered an injury  which you believe may have resulted from the negligence of another person, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover the costs involved to pay for your medical bills, lost earnings and/or other pain, emotional distress or physical disability.

Premises Liability cases may include:

• Attractive Nuisance cases: pool accidents, abandoned building accidents. These cases involve holding a landowner liable for hidden traps or defects on a property that the landowner knew about or should have known about and that typically attract children. For example, landowners may be liable (legally responsible) for injuries caused by abandoned buildings, trampolines, pools, and playgrounds.
• Playground Accidents
• Slip and Fall Accidents
• Fraternity or Sorority Accidents/ Hazing Incidents
• Assaults in parking garages or parking lots
• Assaults in hotels, motels, or other businesses
• Exposure to toxic or hazardous substances such as lead or mold

In premises liability claims, the plaintiff must show that the landowner failed to reasonably maintain the property or created unsafe conditions which caused or contributed to the injury. Plaintiffs may also show that the landowner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition on the properly and failed to properly warn visitors.
