Premises Liability: Premises liability cases typically refer to as “slip-and-fall” or “trip-and-fall” cases. They involve the potential liability of a landowner, usually a business, for injuries to a customer due to a dangerous condition on the owner’s land or its buildings. Many people believe that if they sustain injuries on a store owner’s premises, the store owner automatically becomes liable for those injuries. This is not true. As with the other legal areas discussed, to recover compensation in a premises liability case we must prove the landowner’s negligence, and that the negligence caused the person’s injuries. In other words, the injured party must show the premise’s dangerous condition that caused the injury existed due to the landowner’s fault. This often necessitates the hiring of experts in construction, building codes, and other related areas to establish the landowner’s negligence. The recoverable losses are those described in the Personal Injury section.
