What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their properties. When they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, they may be held legally and financially accountable.

These cases are based on negligence. When a property owner is considered negligent, it means they didn’t take reasonable steps to fix a hazard or warn others about it.

Whether it’s a slippery floor, exposed wiring, broken handrail, or poor lighting in a stairwell, negligence is a factor if the property owner did or should have known about the danger but failed to do anything to reduce or eliminate it.

Premises liability laws apply to many types of properties, including:

  • Private homes
  • Retail stores and restaurants
  • Apartment complexes
  • Hotels
  • Parking lots and garages
  • Public buildings

If you were on someone else’s property and got hurt due to unsafe conditions, you may have a valid premises liability claim—and our team can help you pursue it.

What Counts as a Premises Liability Case?

Premises liability applies when a property owner or manager fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. These cases can occur almost anywhere—on residential, commercial, or public property.

Common examples include:

  • Slip and fall accidents caused by spills, loose rugs, or poor lighting
  • Trip and falls from uneven pavement, broken steps, or obstructed walkways
  • Falling objects from poorly secured shelving
  • Dog bites or other animal attacks
  • Injuries due to negligent security, especially in parking lots or apartment complexes

Just because an injury occurred on someone else’s property doesn’t automatically make the owner responsible. However, if they knew about a hazard (or should have known) and didn’t fix it or warn you, you may have a strong claim against them for your damages.

What Compensation Is Available for a Premises Liability Injury?

Dangerous properties can result in many different types of accidents—and dozens of painful and disabling injuries. If you were hurt on someone else’s property, you may be eligible to receive compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: This includes all current and future costs related to your injury, such as emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, mobility aids, and follow-up care.
  • Lost Income: If your injuries kept you from working—temporarily or permanently—you may be able to recover the wages you lost. If you’ve suffered a long-term disability that limits your ability to earn a living, you may also be compensated for diminished earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering: Injuries can take a deep emotional and physical toll. Chronic pain, mental distress, loss of independence, or inability to enjoy your daily life can all be factored into your claim.
  • Scarring or Disfigurement: If your injury left you with lasting visible effects, that may entitle you to additional compensation for the emotional and psychological impact.
  • Permanent Disability: In the most serious cases, victims may be left with permanent disabilities. These can affect mobility, cognitive ability, or basic daily functions—significantly altering your life and your future.
  • Other Damages: Depending on your case, additional forms of compensation may be available, such as the cost of in-home care, home modifications, or transportation if you’re unable to drive.

Why These Cases Can Be Complex

Premises liability cases can be difficult to navigate without an experienced legal advocate. Insurance companies often try to shift the blame onto the injured person by claiming they weren’t paying attention or should have noticed the danger. And even when they agree to pay, they frequently offer lowball settlements that aren’t enough to cover victims’ full expenses. That’s where we come in.

At Tyler Mann Injury Law, we investigate the scenes of premises liability accidents and injuries, gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and consult with experts when necessary to build the strongest case possible for our clients. We know what it takes to hold property owners accountable, and we won’t back down from a fight.
