Premises liability cases are often referred to as "trip and fall" cases or "negligent security" cases. They come in various forms, but the central idea is to hold the owner or occupant of a property liable for injuries sustained on their premises.
To establish liability, we must demonstrate that:
- A hazardous condition existed on the property.
- The owner or occupant knew about the condition, created it, or should have reasonably known about it.
If these elements can be proven, the property owner or occupant can be held legally responsible for any harm caused by the hazard.
