Types of Premises Liability Cases

When a property owner does not maintain his or her property or fails to provide ample warning of hazards, it can be considered negligence. Common types of premises liability cases involve:



• Slip and fall injuries due to icy conditions, wet floors, and other hazards
• Poorly maintained property, such as uneven stairs or a broken sidewalk
• Inadequately lit grounds
• Fires due to defective wiring or other improper maintenance
• Chemical leaks
• Amusement park accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Accidents due to faulty elevators or escalators

Do You Have a Valid Claim?

The key to a successful premises liability claim is being able to prove that you had a right to be on the property. Visitors fall into one of three categories:

1. Invitees have an owner’s express permission to be on the property. This applies to public places such as stores.

2. Licensees have an owner’s implied permission to be on the property. For example, a guest in a private home would be considered a licensee.

3. Trespassers are those who do not have permission to be on the property and enter against the owner’s will.

Legally, property owners are responsible for the safety of invitees and licensees. In most cases, property owners do not have any responsibility to trespassers, unless the trespasser is a child. Often, property owners are liable if they have a pool on the premises and fail to take measures that would prevent a child from entering the pool.

Our personal injury lawyers in Washington, PA and the Pittsburgh area are passionate about helping those who have been injured because of the reckless and negligent acts of others.

Liability Cases Can Be Complex

Several factors can make premises liability cases quite complex:

• You may have to prove that the property owner knew about the hazardous conditions in advance and did not do anything to prevent or remedy them.
• You must be able to prove that you were not engaged in dangerous or irresponsible behavior while you were on the property.
• You must be able to identify the various parties that could be held responsible for your injury. For example, if you were hurt in a retail center, the property owner or the business owner could be held liable.
