Failure to take reasonable action to guard against such dangers may serve as grounds for a personal injury or wrongful death claim in the event that someone is injured or killed as a result. A common example of a situation that may give rise to a premises liability lawsuit is the slip and fall accident. Click here to learn more about these types of cases.
Examples of premises liability claims:
While many falls are entirely the fault of the accident victim, it can often be proven that conditions such as a wet floor, a broken stair step, cluttered floors or poorly lit walkways caused or contributed to the accident.
Swimming pool accidents are often the subject of premises liability claims, such as when the property owner failed to install a fence with a self-latching gate in order to keep unsupervised children out.
In some cases, it is possible to sue a landowner for a dog bite when the landlord knew about the fact that the dog was vicious yet failed to evict the dog's owner or to take other reasonable safety measures.
It is sometimes possible to sue for premises liability when an apartment tenant has suffered a robbery or sexual assault that could have been prevented by the installation of routine security measures.
