Premises Liability
Premises liability is a legal concept that usually comes into play when a person is injured on someone else’s property because of an unsafe or defective condition of the property. The injured person may have a personal injury claim that they may be able to seek compensation for their injuries with. Like the majority of personal injury claims, a premises liability claim is usually based on negligence. The injured victim (the plaintiff, often with the help of a lawyer) needs to prove that the property owner or manager, or the renter-tenant, was negligent with respect to the maintenance and upkeep of safety features on the property.
