Premises Liability FAQs
What is premises liability?
​
Premises liability is an area of law where a defect on a property can be cause for a negligence claim. Premises liability claims may be a slip and fall on a property or a dog bite, it could be a robbery or assault in a nightclub with negligent security, or it could even be as a result of a heavy falling object. If a property owner knows of a dangerous condition, or should know of it, and doesn’t correct it — then you may have a claim based on premises liability.
What are common types of premises liability cases?
Premises liability claims can be anything associated with a dangerous condition on a property. Some of the more common cases include:
​
-
Dog Bites
-
Negligent Security
What are examples of dangerous conditions that may give rise to a premises liability claim?
Again, there can be any number of conditions leading to a dangerous condition, but some of the more common issues include:
​

Poor lighting

Deficient balcony construction
