Premises Liability

If someone is injured on property owned by another, he or she may be entitled to money damages for his or her injury. In this type of case, the owner of property is not an insurer of the safety of others. The owner, in order to be responsible for injuries to others, must be on notice of a dangerous condition and fail to correct it. The status of injured person on the premises may also impact the right to recover. A greater duty may be owed to someone on the premises for the purpose of doing business as opposed to one who may be a trespasser. Seeking legal representation is essential in determining if you have a claim to recover damages for injuries that occur on property owned by another.
