Different states follow different rules about who may recover for premises liability and under which conditions. Some states focus on the status of the person visiting the property to determine whether liability is appropriate. The status of a visitor in those states is usually invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
A premises liability lawsuit holds a property owner responsible for any damages arising out of an injury on that person or entity’s property. In all states, owners that occupy a property must make a reasonable effort to maintain a safe environment for visitors to it. Failure to keep the property safe for visitors results in “premises liability.” Common situations that may give rise to premises liability lawsuits are:
- Animal and Dog Bites
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Dangerous Property
- Negligent or Inadequate Security
- Swimming Pool Injury
- Inadequate Maintenance
- Children on Property
- Retail Store Liability
- Restaurant Liability
