Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, customers, tenants, and others who enter their property. Premises liability law holds property owners responsible when their negligence causes injuries on their property. Businesses, landlords, property managers, and homeowners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions and either repair hazards or warn visitors about them.

When property owners fail to take reasonable steps to fix dangerous conditions, they may be legally liable for injuries that occur.

Examples of premises liability cases include:

Slip and fall accidents
Trip and fall accidents
Dangerous staircases or broken railings
Poor lighting in walkways or parking lots
Uneven sidewalks or pavement
Wet or slippery floors
Falling objects in stores or warehouses
Unsafe property maintenance

If an injury occurs because a property owner failed to address a known hazard or should have reasonably known about the danger, the injured person may be able to pursue a premises liability lawsuit.

To succeed in a premises liability case, an injured victim generally must show that:

The property owner owed a duty to maintain safe conditions
A dangerous condition existed on the property
