Premises Liability
Premises liability is a theory of liability that holds owners and occupiers of property legally responsible for accidents that happen on the property.
An owner or occupier of property is negligent and liable for money damages if reasonable care was not taken to prevent a foreseeable harm.
Most premises liability cases are related to a slipping or tripping incident, with such likely causes as a foreign object on the walking surface, a design flaw in the walking surface, or a slippery surface caused by weather or a spill.
