Who is Liable For Premises Liability?

A person who owns any facility which others enter is responsible for keeping it safe. This includes owners of:
  • Private homes
  • Rental properties
  • Government-owned facilities
  • Hotels
  • Stores and restaurants
  • Commercial and office buildings

Such owners are required to use reasonable care in property maintenance, and if they fail in that and somebody is injured, they can be held liable. Others may also be held liable, such as apartment building managers, store owners who may not own the building their store is in, hotel managers and cleaning or yard work companies.

That liability circle may even be widened to include architects if a design defect is found in a building, construction companies if substandard work is found, plumbers or electricians if faulty work is related to an injury, and any other parties who are found to have contributed by their negligence or carelessness to an accident.

Please give us a call or send an email if you have been injured on someone else’s property and feel that your accident could have been avoided. Perhaps something heavy fell on you from a high supermarket shelf; perhaps you slipped on icy stairs which had no railing for support; perhaps your apartment was burgled and you were injured for lack of good quality locks on the doors and windows. The scenarios are endless. We will be glad to give you a free consultation and some advice about your legal rights and options.
