If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. Whether it happened in a store, apartment complex, parking lot, or private home, property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe.

What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal responsibility for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. These cases often involve:
- Poor maintenance
- Failure to fix known hazards
- Inadequate lighting or signage
- Unsafe stairways or railings
- Lack of security
- Code violations or building defects
Whether you were visiting a business, attending an event, or invited onto private property, the owner or manager may be liable for your injuries if they failed to take reasonable care.
