What Is Considered Premises Liability?

The property owner's negligence may have contributed to your injuries. In these situations, you may be able to file a premises liability claim. In this type of personal injury lawsuit, you would be able to hold the property owner liable for your injuries and losses. You would be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.

To prove liability in a premises liability claim, you would need to show:

  • The property owner owed you a duty of care
  • The property owner breached their duty of care
  • The breach of duty caused your injuries
  • You were injured on the property owner's property
  • You were using the property in a reasonably foreseeable manner

For example, if you were injured on a slip-and-fall on a store's floor, the store would have a duty of care to keep the floor reasonably safe and clean. If the store did not clean the floor or did not clean it often enough, they would have breached their duty of care. If you slipped and fell because of a wet floor, the store would have breached their duty of care. The breach of duty would have caused your injuries.

    • committing a crime,
    • has committed a crime or
    • is about to commit a crime.

  • How Your Criminal History Could Affect Your Current Case

    Your prior brushes with the law can have an enormous influence on your life. Once you pay your fines or serve jail time, you will likely have to face the additional collateral consequences of your conviction. Having a criminal conviction can prevent you from getting desirable jobs and living where you would like. What’s worse, your criminal history can influence a prosecutor’s decisions about new charges and can result in harsher punishments for subsequent convictions. If you have legal questions about a current criminal case, seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.
