What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or hazardous conditions. These cases can arise in various settings, including residential homes, commercial buildings, retail stores, restaurants, and public spaces. Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of any known dangers.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases can involve a wide range of accidents and injuries. Some of the most common types include:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to a hazardous condition on the property, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, merchandise or power cords left in the aisles of a store, or poorly maintained walkways, including parking lots and sidewalks. A related type of injury occurs when boxes or products are negligently stacked on high shelves, creating a risk of severe harm if these objects fall and strike somebody. These accidents can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head injuries, and back injuries. Contact a skilled Towson slip & fall lawyer from Hardball Law for assistance.

Inadequate or Negligent Security

Property owners are responsible for providing adequate security measures to protect visitors from criminal activities. Negligent security claims may arise in cases where a person is assaulted, robbed, or otherwise harmed due to insufficient lighting, inadequate or non-working locks, lack of security personnel, or faulty security systems. Apartment complexes, hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, and parking garages are common sites that give rise to violent assaults and inadequate security claims.

Dog Bites

Dog owners are liable for injuries caused by their pets. If you have been bitten or attacked by a dog on someone else’s property or in public, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. Insurance companies will try to show that the pet owner could not have known the dog was dangerous or blame the victim for provoking the attack. In Maryland, any amount of shared fault attributed to the accident victim can ruin their legal claim, making it imperative to get legal representation from a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who can build a strong and successful case.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Swimming pool accidents can result in severe injuries or even drowning. Property owners must ensure that their pools are properly maintained and that safety measures, such as fencing and warning signs, are in place to prevent accidents, especially for young children who are attracted to pools and not mature enough to appreciate the danger.

Structural Defects

Structural defects, such as collapsing ceilings, broken stairs, or faulty railings, can cause serious injuries. Property owners have a duty to regularly inspect and repair their premises to ensure the safety of visitors.

Proving a Premises Liability Claim

To successfully pursue a premises liability claim, you must establish the following elements:

  1. Duty of Care: The property owner owed you a duty of care to maintain a safe environment.
  2. Breach of Duty: The property owner failed to meet this duty by allowing a hazardous condition to exist.
  3. Causation: The hazardous condition directly caused your injury.
  4. Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as a result of the injury.

In Maryland, the property owner’s duty can vary depending on the legal status of the victim and factors such as whether the accident happened before or after the owner had a reasonable period of time to know about the defect and correct it. Factors like these can make a premises liability claim complex and difficult. Strong legal representation is necessary to prepare and present a successful legal claim.
