Premises liability is an area of law that holds property owners responsible for injuries or damages that occur on their property due to their negligence.
A premises liability case arises when a person is injured or suffers damages while on someone else's property, such as a slip and fall accident in a grocery store or a dog bite in a park.
In order to establish a premises liability case, the injured party must prove that the property owner had a duty to keep the property reasonably safe, that the property owner breached that duty by failing to maintain the property or by failing to adequately warn of any dangerous conditions, and that the breach of duty caused the injury or damages.
The level of duty owed by the property owner varies depending on the relationship between the injured party and the property owner. For example, a property owner owes the highest level of duty to invitees, who are individuals who have been invited onto the property for a business purpose, such as customers in a store. The property owner owes a lower level of duty to licensees, who are individuals who have been invited onto the property for a social purpose, such as guests at a party. And the property owner owes the lowest level of duty to trespassers, who are individuals who enter the property without permission.
If the injured party can establish all of the elements of a premises liability case, they may be entitled to compensation for their injuries or damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
