Understanding Premises Liability Law
Under premises liability law, property owners have a duty to protect their guests from dangerous conditions and to warn people of hazards. However, premises liability law is complex.
For example, if you slip on a spill in the grocery store, your ability to collect compensation may depend on how long the spill had been there. If the spill had been on the floor long enough so store employees should have been aware of it and cleaned it up, the property owner was negligent. However, if the spill was recent, you may not be able to collect compensation. To prove liability, it is important to collect and preserve evidence as soon as possible.
There are many different types of premises liability cases:
- Slipping and falling on a slippery substance on a floor
- Tripping and falling on a stairway due to a missing handrail or uneven stairs
- Injuries caused by store employees or falling merchandise in a store
