What Is Premises Liability?
A subset of personal injury law, premises liability deals with the legal process once someone gets hurt on someone else’s property. Your premises liability lawyer will apply this legal principle with these four elements in place:
- The defendant is the owner, lessee, controller, or occupier of the property.
- The plaintiff sustained injuries on that property.
- The defendant failed to correct a dangerous condition or warn visitors.
- The defendant’s negligence was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.
If any one of these is missing, a premises liability attorney cannot make a case. Our team can determine if your claim meets the legal definition. We will work with you each step of the way, whether the case goes to court or a settlement is reached beforehand.
