You may have heard the term “premises liability.” This is a facet of the law which holds the company or person in possession and control of a property responsible when someone is injured on their property.
It is important to note that property owners are only on the hook if you can prove that (a) the owner knew or should have known of the danger; (b) the owner failed to take reasonable measures to remove the danger; and (c) if it were not for the negligence of the owner, you would not be injured.
Most premises liability claims are the result of “slip and falls” or “trip and falls.”
