Premise Liability

Lafayette Premise Liability Lawyers

Premises liability is a legal concept that typically comes into play in personal injury cases where the injury was caused by an unsafe or defective condition on someone’s property. Many personal injury cases are based on negligence, and premises liability cases are no exception. In these cases, the injured party must prove that the property owner was negligent concerning the ownership and maintenance of the property. In general, negligence means that the property owner failed to use reasonable care in connection with the property.

It is important to note that just because you were injured on someone’s property does not mean that the property owner was negligent. Further, simply because the property might have been in an unsafe condition does not automatically mean that the property owner was negligent. You have to show that the property owner knew or should reasonably have known that the premises were in an unsafe condition, and still failed to take proper steps to remedy the situation.
