WHAT CONSTITUTES A VALID PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIM?

In order to win your premises liability case, you’ll need to prove in court that the property owner’s negligence directly led to the accident that caused your injuries. In other words, the accident should have been caused by the property owner’s failure to maintain a safe property. The court defines negligence as when someone fails their civic duty to behave in a way that minimizes harm to others.

HOW CAN I WIN MY CASE?

To win a premises liability claim, you’ll need to follow the proper steps in proving that the property owner’s negligence is responsible for your injuries. These elements are necessary:

  • Duty – The property owner had a civic duty to keep their property safe for others.
  • Breach – The property owner failed their duty of maintaining a safe property.
  • Causation – Because of this breach, an accident occurred, injuring a victim.
  • Damages – The victim suffered as a result of the property owner’s failure to maintain a safe property.

After being injured on another person’s property, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney to help you build your case. Your attorney can gather the evidence you need such as surveillance footage of the accident, witness testimonies, photos of the hazard that caused your accident, hospital records indicating the extent of your injuries, and other important information. You may be eligible for compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.
