How Do I Know If I Have a Premises Liability Claim?
To establish a strong premises liability case, you must be able to demonstrate the following key elements:
- The property owner or manager had control over the property at the time of your injury.
- The property owner was negligent by failing to inspect or maintain the premises, resulting in hazardous conditions.
- The property owner knew or should have known about the danger but did not take steps to correct it or warn visitors.
- Your injuries and losses were directly caused by the hazardous conditions, such as a slip and fall.
- You suffered measurable damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Legal Status
Your ability to recover compensation may also depend on your legal status on the property:
- Invitees (e.g., customers, guests) are owed the highest duty of care by property owners, who must maintain safe conditions.
- Licensees (those on the property for their own purposes) also have legal protection, though it may be slightly lower than that for invitees.
- Trespassers receive limited protection, though property owners must not intentionally harm them.
Understanding your legal status is key to determining the property owner’s level of responsibility.
