Premise Liability Claim


Premise Liability, an Overview

Premises liability is used to describe the legal accountability that a negligent land or building owner or manager has for the injuries sustained by another.

Liability shall devolve on the person who:

  • occupies and in control of a land;

  • occupies with the intent to control the land and no person subsequently occupied it with the same intent; or

  • entitles to immediate occupation of the land, if no person actually in possession thereof

    • The liability of the defendant in a premise liability case varies whether the plaintiff is a licensee, trespasser or an invitee.

    An invitee in one who has been invited to enter and remain on the premises due to economic advantage it brings to the possessor such as malls, grocery stores, etc.

    A licensee is one who has been invited to enter and remain in the premises as consented to by the possessor or owner such as a guest in a party.

    A trespasser, on the other hand, is one who enters the premises without consent, express or implied of the owner or possessor. Typically, the possessor or owner has no duty to warn a trespasser of the dangerous condition of the premises.

    Premise Liability Suit

    Case on premise liability may seem simple but in some states, the law favors the premises owners or managers. Thus, consultation with a lawyer can be a great help in assessing your case.

    In filing your claims, you have to allege and prove the following:

  • property owner is responsible for unsafe condition of the premises for instance in not cleaning it up or repairing it

  • property owner is aware of such condition but failed to post warning signs or do steps to correct it

  • property owner is acquainted with the danger or should have been acquainted of such danger

    • These allegations are better addressed if you seek professional help.
