Premises Liability — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a premises liability claim?

A premises liability claim arises when a property owner or manager fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions and someone is injured as a result — for example, an unaddressed spill, inadequate lighting, or a broken stairway.

Do I need to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?

In many states, a claim requires showing that the property owner knew or reasonably should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to correct it within a reasonable time.
