Premises Liability is an area of personal injury law that deals with injuries people suffer on someone else’s property. A very common name for premises liability law is a “slip and fall” case or a “trip and fall” case. Regardless of what you call it, it is a very serious area that requires the skills of an experienced premises liability attorney to handle. Slip, trip and fall is a name given to situations in which a person is injured by slipping or tripping and falling due to dangerous or unreasonable conditions on someone’s property. The fall can happen inside or outside the property and can be caused by conditions such as the following:
- Wet surface
- Holes
- Improperly secured mats
- Hidden drop-offs
A property owner may be liable for the injury under the following circumstances:
The owner failed to maintain the property or created a condition that resulted in injury
If the owner is aware of a danger on his property but does nothing to eliminate the problem or warn others of the defect
If the owner’s actions, or lack of action, cause damage to his neighbor’s property
In these types of cases, it is important to act fast. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, please contact the premises liability attorneys at Carr & Carr, Attorneys at Law today.
