Liability law requires owners and managers to meet basic safety standards. They have a duty to prevent injury, when possible, to customers or visitors. Grocery stores may be negligent and liable when they fail to clean up a spill. A shopping mall may be negligent and liable for not properly lighting its parking lot. Management may have failed when an elderly person slips and falls on an unsafe walkway.

Victims of serious injury caused by an instance of premises liability may not always realize they have legal rights. Certainly, some accidents cannot be prevented. But the law requires that a property owner or manager exercise reasonable care to ensure the safety of others. The owner of an apartment building may not know that a burglar is going to break into one of the residents’ cars. But he or she must make some assumptions about potential security risks — and take appropriate steps to guard against foreseeable criminal activity. As a result, many residential property owners are required to provide lighting or cameras in key areas such as parking lots to deter crime.
Not every accident or injury that takes place on someone else’s property constitutes a legitimate premises liability claim, but several questions help determine whether the incident merits legal action:
The relationship of the victim to the responsible party is often important; whether you were a customer or guest may impact the level of responsibility the premises owner bears for your injuries. However, it’s important to note that in some cases, even if you were not invited onto the property, you may have a right to seek compensation. This is particularly true of situations in which the premises owner was aware of a potentially hazardous condition and failed to post any signs warning of the danger.
If you have been hurt in an accident involving premises liability, the amount of compensation you are eligible to receive will depend upon the severity of your injury and its impact on your long-term health. Successful premises liability claims must clearly establish how and why the injury occurred and provide medically supported statements regarding the injury.
