What Is Premises Liability?

A: Premises liability simply means that a landlord or property owner is responsible for injuries and accidents that take place on their land. If a person is seriously injured while on another person’s property, and that property owner was negligent in keeping their land reasonable safe from hazards, he or she may be responsible for damages related to the injury, such as medical bills, lost wages, future medical costs, pain and suffering, or mental anguish. Examples of premises liability cases include dog bite lawsuits, slip and fall cases, swimming pool injury lawsuits, or inadequate security lawsuits.
