2. • When you enter someone’s property, you have an
expectation of not getting injured. This means that
the property owner is responsible for maintaining a
safe environment. This is known as "premises
liability”.

3. Slip and fall
• Slips and falls are the number one cause of
hazardous brain injuries and even leading to death in
some cases. Inadequate lighting, wet floors and
uneven sidewalks are types of negligence that can
contribute to slip and fall injuries.

4. Dog bites
• When a visitor enters your premises, you should take
all the necessary steps to protect them from your pet
dogs. In case, if your dog bites him, you may have to
pay all his medical bills and even lost wages.

5. Inadequate security
• Commercial property owners take reasonable
precautions to protect visitors. They should provide
adequate lighting, security systems and other
safeguards.

6. Sidewalk or road defects
• If you were injured due to damaged sidewalk or road
in your town, then the local government may be
liable for the accident.

7. Determining Premises Liability
• The legal status of the visitor: Property owner is not
responsible if the trespasser is injured. A person who
is invited or licensed to enter the premises of the
property is only eligible to file the claim.

8. • The owner of the property is negligent: The owner
of the property has a duty of care to take reasonable
precautions that will prevent the visitor from slipping
and falling.

9. • Whether or not the visitor was careless: If the
premises owner created the hazardous
circumstances that may lead to serious injuries, then
it doesn’t matter whether the visitor is careless or
careful.

10. Getting Legal Help for a Premises
Liability Injury
• If you or a loved one has suffered a premises liability
injury, you should speak with an experienced
personal injury attorney to ensure that your legal
rights are protected and you achieve your rightful
compensation.
