Owners: Liable for Accidents Due to Property Negligence

It is the property owner's responsibility to manage and take care of his property. The Premise Liability law defined specific duties of property owners or property occupants to visitors who obtained physical injury due to unsafe property conditions.

Factors required for a Premise Liability Claim to Succeed

To recover damages, a plaintiff in a premise liability claim must prove the following elements:

1. The owner of the property has the legal right to protect you.

2. Physical and mental injury, as well as the financial losses of the victim is a result of the property owner's carelessness.

3. The property owner is knowledgeable or should be aware of the hazardous condition of his property but did not do anything about it.

Individuals in the Premises

The three classes of individuals who are found in the premises include:

•    Visitors and Invited Guests - Visitors and invited guests are the people who received invitation from the property owner to visit the property for commercial or business purposes

•    Licensees - Licensees are the people inside the property who have expressed or implied invitation from owner of the property for non-commercial purposes.

•    Trespassers - Trespassers are the people inside the property without the owner's permission.

Ways to Maintain Your Property Safe

Safety should be the first thing that a property owner should check in the maintenance of his/her property especially if people frequently visit it. Safety precautions that a property owner should do and should be aware of include:
