What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners bear the responsibility to repair unsafe conditions on their premises that could cause injuries to their guests and customers. Whether it’s a slip and fall caused by a wet floor in a restaurant or a poorly anchored artwork falling on a hotel guest as she sleeps, property owners are responsible for compensating the victims for their injuries. The legal principle that property owners owe their guests a duty of care undergirds their responsibility to those who are injured. Learn more by contacting The Alexander Firm.
What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
Any hazard that a property owner does not fix in a reasonable amount of time may make an owner liable for injuries to its guests. Insufficient lighting, walkway obstructions, ripped carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, improperly working elevators, and uneven stair risers all should be repaired before a property owner invites guests to their property. Slippery floors, too, can cause accidents. However, if the property owner isn’t aware of the situation that caused the fall, such as when a customer breaks a bottle of soda and fails to notify the owner or one of its agents, the owner might not be liable. That’s why it’s essential that you see a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the accident to learn what options you may have.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
The first thing you need to do is to seek medical attention. Be sure to keep all records that relate to your injury. If you are able, go back to the scene of the accident and take photos that show the conditions that led to your injury. If you can’t, ask a trusted person to do that for you. If your injury occurred at a business or another organization’s property, fill out a written incident report but make sure you keep a copy for your records. Be sure to contact an attorney that specializes in premises liability to have the best chance of getting fair compensation for your injuries. We can help. Contact The Alexander Firm today.
