Accidents and Injuries on Another's Property
Premises liability refers to accidents and injuries that occur as the result of an unsafe condition at another person’s property. These accidents can occur almost anywhere – at a mall, grocery store, house or apartment, restaurant, amusement park, office building or more.
Premises liability covers many forms of accidents:
- Slip and falls
- Fires or explosions
- Roof cave-in
- Broken glass
- Animal attacks
- Swimming pool accidents
Here are a few examples of accidents or situations that would qualify as premises liability claims and enable a person to sue the property owner or proprietor for damages:
- You are walking across the marble floor of a department store when you suddenly slip and fall. You look up to see a custodian mopping the floor, but there is no caution sign present to warn customers of the danger.
- You are watching a movie at the theatre when a ceiling tile falls onto your head, seriously injuring you.
- You are at an acquaintance’s house and their dog attacks and injures you.
