What is Premises Liability Law?

Property owners are legally required to maintain safe premises if they expect to have guests or invitees. Failing to maintain usable and safe premises may render the owner liable for any injuries that occur due to the undermaintained facilities. This is called premises liability law.

What Constitutes a Premises Liability Case?

Premises liability accidents involve the element of “foreseeability.” 

Typically, an injury is a premises liability accident if:

  • the injured plaintiff’s injuries were preventable;
  • the property owner could have predicted the injuries;
  • the property owner created the hazardous condition on the premises; and/or
  • the property owner in control of the premises knew of the dangerous conditions.

Some common types of premises liability accidents are slips and falls and negligent security incidents. Slips and falls may occur if the property owner is negligent about maintaining safe premises (e.g., ignoring uneven flooring, not maintaining loose handrails, not fencing off wet floor areas), thus causing guests to slip and fall. If the property owner knew or should have known that such a hazardous condition existed but did nothing to remedy that danger, they can be held liable for negligence.

Similarly, situations in which a property owner fails to provide adequate security for the safety of its guests may also render the property owner liable for negligence. This might include if the property owner does not properly train its employees to supervise a gathering or fails to hire enough security in a notoriously high-crime area, or if the security on the premises fails to break up a violent fight. Negligent security may also be due to inadequate locks on doors or windows, as well as a lack of lighting.
