A premises liability accident is a type of personal injury case where the injury was caused by an unsafe or hazardous feature on a person's property. Property owners have the responsibility of making sure their property is safe and maintained.
Unsafe or dangerous areas need to be sufficiently labeled or made known. For instance, if there is water on the floor in a grocery aisle, that area needs to be blocked off and labeled with a "wet floor" sign until it can be mopped up to prevent slips, trips, and falls.
Many personal injury cases, including premises liability cases, are based on negligence. Negligence means the property owner has failed to take appropriate care of their property.
