Premises Liability Negligence
Negligence plays a key role in any premises liability claim. Injuries sustained
on another person's property are not reason enough for a premises liability
claim or compensation. There are a few different circumstances that must be shown
in order to prove that a property owner's negligence caused your injuries. First,
your injuries must result from an unreasonable risk, condition, or element that
caused you to trip, slip, or fall.
Also, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the
unreasonable risk, and that they either failed to warn you or failed to correct
the risk.
Generally, if the property owner is negligent, then they should be held liable for
any injuries you sustained on their property. The concept of negligence is made
more difficult when other factors are involved, like
comparative negligence
