What Should I Know About Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to the responsibility of a property owner to make sure their land is safe for people accessing it legally. Some common examples of premises liability include:
- Slip-and-falls or trip-and-falls
- Negligent security
- Inadequate lighting
- Hazardous stairwells
- Potholes
- Cracked pavement
- Icy or wet ground
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
Premises liability claims encompass a variety of injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Neck injuries
- Fractured wrists
- Broken hips
- Burn injuries
- Bites from animals
As long as you were not trespassing on someone else’s land, you may have the right to seek compensation for your damages through a premises liability claim if you are injured as a result of a property owner’s failure to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition. However, if you are injured by a danger that is considered “open and obvious,” Ohio law may prevent you from seeking compensation for your injuries unless you can prove there was an “attendant circumstance” that prevented you from identifying the openness and obviousness of the danger. Because premises liability claims are factually specific and can be difficult to prove, it is very important that you speak with an experienced premises liability attorney immediately to help you gather all of the relevant information and protect your legal rights.
How Does The Legal Process Work?
The first step in a personal injury claim is to seek counsel from a premises liability attorney to discuss whether you have an actionable case. If so, your lawyer will reach out to the insurance company to begin communications. There will be a back-and-forth process in which your attorney and the insurer negotiate a settlement. If your lawyer feels that the settlement offer is not fair, they may decide to take your case to court.
