What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners and managers to maintain a safe environment for those who enter their property. If a property owner or manager neglects this duty and a person is injured as a result, they may be held liable for the damages.
Common Examples of Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability can cover a wide range of scenarios. Here are two common examples:
- Slips and Falls: One of the most common types of premises liability cases involves slips and falls. For instance, if a customer falls at a grocery store because there was a slippery substance on the floor that management failed to clean up promptly, the store could be held liable for any injuries that occur.
- Injuries at Recreational Facilities: Another example is a child getting injured at a trampoline park due to a lack of supervision or faulty equipment. In such cases, the facility’s management could be held responsible for not ensuring the safety of their equipment or for failing to provide adequate supervision.
These examples illustrate how a lack of proper maintenance, supervision, or safety measures can lead to serious injuries and premises liability claims.
What Types of Damages Are Available in Premises Liability Cases?
Premises liability cases involve the same types of damages as other personal injury cases. This includes:
- Medical Expenses: Compensation for past and future medical bills related to the injury.
- Lost Wages: Recovery for income lost due to time off work for recovery.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury.
