WHAT IS PREMISES LIABILITY?
Premises liability laws are in place to ensure that businesses and property owners create safe environments for visitors who are invited onto their property. It is the responsibility of property owners to maintain safe premises. For example, if there is a hazardous condition on the property, such as a slippery floor in a restaurant, the property owner must promptly address it.
When owners fail to prioritize safety, and a visitor sustains an injury on their premises, they may be held accountable for the resulting financial losses and suffering experienced by the victim.
If you or someone you know has been injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, the personal injury attorneys at Daniel Stark can help you recover the full value of your premises liability injury.

WHEN SHOULD YOU FILE A PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIM?
When a slip and fall injury occurs on someone’s personal property, legal action may not always be necessary. However, if the fall occurs in a public location, like a restaurant or parking lot, we recommend seeking legal advice.
To hold a business or property owner responsible for your injury on their premises, you must have been on the premises as a business invitee, as defined by law.
Property owners have a duty to reasonably maintain their premises to ensure safety. This duty includes regularly inspecting the property and addressing any dangerous conditions.
The elements of a premises liability claim may include:
- The property owner had knowledge of a condition on the premises.
- The condition posed an unreasonable risk of harm.
- The property owner failed to exercise reasonable care to reduce or eliminate the risk.
- The property owner’s failure to use such care caused the plaintiff’s injuries.
Proving a property owner’s responsibility for a slip and fall incident can be challenging. However, gathering evidence that demonstrates the cause of your injury will help strengthen your case.
WHY CONTACT A PREMISES LIABILITY ATTORNEY?
If you have suffered an injury on someone else’s property due to their negligence in providing adequate lighting, security, maintenance, warning visitors of dangers, or adhering to safety codes, it may be possible to hold them accountable for your losses.
Holding the responsible party accountable for your injury is possible in many cases. However, delaying action or choosing not to file a claim can make it challenging to prove a property owner’s negligence.
While every case is unique, let’s consider a common scenario in premises liability: slipping and falling in a business due to liquid on the floor.
Here are some key questions to keep in mind:
- Was the liquid present long enough for the business owner to be aware of it?
- Did you gather witness statements from the employees on duty? Time is of the essence, especially given the high turnover rate in retail.
- Is there a surveillance video? While there may be available footage, it is essential to act swiftly to prevent any chance of evidence destruction.
Cases like these often involve evidence that can easily be covered up or corrected. That’s why it is essential to contact an attorney who specializes in premises liability claims.
