What is the Premises Liability?
What is the Difference Between Premises Liability and Personal Liability?
Premises liability pertains to injuries or damages which occur on another person’s property or business due to unsafe conditions. There is an implicit premise in the law that states that property owners, managers, or occupiers must “exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe.” Failure to do so, resulting in the injury of another, is the responsibility of that same owner, manager, or occupier, leaving them responsible for the expenses relative to the injury.
Premises liability accidents often occur at locations including:
- Retail stores
- Grocery stores
- Shopping malls
- Big box stores
- Restaurants
- Sports venues
- Private residences
Premises liability claims frequently result from slips and fall on wet floors, wrinkled carpets, cracked sidewalks or pitted parking lots, cluttered walkways, or negligence. If, for example, you slipped and fell due to water on the floor in the produce department at your local grocery store, any injuries you may suffer are the responsibility of the store due to the store and their employees’ negligence.
It is important to note that property owners and businesses are not always responsible for accidents. Property owners and employees must be careful to maintain an implied duty of care, or they may be held liable for damages due to the following:
- Spills, breakages, outages, and hazards on their property
- Dangerous conditions and endangering situations left unrepaired beyond a reasonable amount of time
- A failure to post adequate signage warning patrons, customers, and the public at large of perilous conditions under construction or repair
- A complete lack of due diligence to avoid accidents or damage to others
