Premises liability is a legal term that describes a type of personal injury which occurs on someone else’s property. The law bases premises liability on a standard of negligence; in this case, the property owner was negligent in some manner and that negligence caused your injury.
But to be clear, just because you suffered an injury on someone else’s property, that does not mean they were negligent. To prove the property owner was negligent, you must show:
- The property owner knew of or should have known there was a dangerous condition on their property.
- The property owner did not take action or did not take reasonable action to eliminate the dangerous condition.
- The dangerous condition on their property caused you to suffer an injury.
- Because of your injury, you have suffered to a point where damages could be awarded.
