Did You Know Property Owners Are Responsible for Injuries Sustained on Their Property?

From slips and falls to animal attacks, accidents occurring on personal and commercial property can happen any time and can even result in death. Sometimes these accidents are at no fault of the property owner. However, if the owner is negligent in maintaining the property and that negligence caused your injury, you may be able to pursue a premises liability claim or lawsuit. In order to pursue a claim or lawsuit, you must prove:

  • The property owner owed a duty of care, an obligation to ensure the safety or well-being of others, to the injured person
  • The property owner did not ensure the safety or well-being of others
  • The unsafe condition(s) caused the injury or injuries
  • The injury or injuries caused resulted in damages such as medical bills, medical complications, or loss of wages

However, if you were not invited onto the property for a personal or business reason, the property owner can claim you were trespassing and therefore deny responsibility for your injuries. Unfortunately, in some circumstances, it can be difficult to prove the property owner was negligent. This is why it is wise to consult a premises liability attorney.
