Premises liability is a legal term used to describe the rights and responsibilities of property owners when people are on their property. That means if you or a loved one is injured on someone else’s property or premises, that property owner can be held liable (legally responsible) for your injury in certain circumstances.
In general, there needs to be a hazardous condition or situation that caused your injury. For example, if there is poor lighting, a loose railing on a stairway, or an unmarked hazard that results in a slip and fall accident, the property owner can be held responsible for your injury if they knew about or should have reasonably known about the hazard.
