Unsafe Conditions That Cause Visitor Injuries

Property owners need to make certain that every square foot of their property that is available to visitors is safe for them to be there. When there is a hazard present, the proprietor needs to take reasonable and adequate steps to eliminate the hazard or at least ensure that no one can get hurt by it until it can be fixed. Failing to do so is often the first step of a premises liability claim or lawsuit.

Hazards often noted in a premises liability claim include:

• Loose carpeting or rugs
• Slick tiles and spills
• Cracked concrete and asphalt
• Stairs with no handrails
• Uncontrolled dogs
• Poorly lit walkways

Whether you slipped and fell or were bitten by an aggressive pet, our team wants to be the one you trust with your premises liability case. Our extensive legal experience allows us to investigate each claim thoroughly, so we can narrow in on the exact cause of your injuries and prove that the proprietor is to blame, not you.

Are Property Owners Always Responsible for Hazards?

Sometimes accidents happen and no one can really be blamed for it. The owner of the property on which you had your accident might not be liable for your injuries. It depends on whether or not the hazard was unreasonable, meaning that another proprietor in the same situation would not have made the mistakes that the defendant did.

A property owner might not be liable for an accident on their property if:

• They did not have a reasonable amount of time to notice the hazard before you were hurt.
• The hazard was seemingly random and not caused by an identifiable safety hazard.
• The hazard was not created by the property owner or an employee.

For example, imagine that you were in an office supply store when you turned a corner down an aisle and tripped on a box of pens that a stock clerk left on the floor. This tripping hazard was created by an employee, so the property owner or company would almost-certainly be liable. Now imagine that you were in a grocery store and a big truck rolled by the front window, causing a little can of peas to fall off a display. Not seeing the can, you slip on it a minute later. In this situation, the hazard is random – created by the happenstance of the big rig rolling by – and was not around for a while before you slipped on it – only one minute between the can falling and your accident – so the property owner might not be liable.
