Premises Liability Lawsuits
If you are injured at a store or business, you may have grounds to file what is called a premises liability lawsuit. This is an area of personal injury law that relates to accidents that occur as a result of a dangerous property.
You see, property owners have a responsibility to maintain their properties in a way that is safe and free from hazards. If a hazard does arise, the property owner must block off the area or install a sign indicating that there is a hazard. If they fail to do these things, they can be held liable for any accidents or injuries that occur.
Premises liability claims can arise out of more than a slip and fall accident. These claims can result from:
- Parking lot injuries
- Unsecured shopping carts
- Poor lighting
- Defective escalators or elevators
- Broken stairs or railings
- Overcrowding
- Falling objects
- Walkway debris
- Defective sidewalks
- Standing water, leaves, or ice
