Slip and falls and other accidents that happen on another person or entity’s property are governed under an area of law known as premises liability. Premises liability holds property owners responsible for meeting and maintaining certain safety standards to prevent accidents and injuries from occuring. When property owners fail to meet these standards and someone suffers injury, they can be held liable for damages.

 

If you’ve sustained injury on someone else’s property, you should consult with an experienced premises liability lawyer immediately to find out if you are entitled to recover damages through a civil lawsuit.

Determining Fault

 

Determining fault in a premises liability case is an exceptionally complicated and difficult process. Most states determine fault based on a number of factors, including the status of the injured person. Consequently, many state laws distinguish between the following three types of visitors:

 

• Invitees are those who enter a premise lawfully, by implicit or explicit invite, for the purpose of business and/or commerce.
• Licensees and/or social guests also have implicit or express consent to enter a property but for purposes other than business or commerce.
• Trespassers are those who enter another person’s property for their own purposes and without any form of consent whatsoever.

Visitor status is just one factor considered when determining liability. Because premises liability laws are so complex, individuals who have suffered injury on another person’s property should always consult with an attorney.
