Holding Property Owners Accountable for Your Safety

Premises-Liability-img-1

If you have become injured due to dangerous circumstances in a place where you should’ve felt safe, you may be able to make premises liability claims. Premises liability refers to the responsibility someone takes while you are on their property. For instance, if you slip, fall, and sustain a serious injury because of ice outside the entry of a store, business, or home, a liquid on the floor in the grocery store, or some other dangerous condition on the premises of another, you may have a maximum compensation against that landowner.

How Is Premises Liability Determined?

The system in Longmont CO will weigh in on whether the injured party was acting reasonably, so both the injured person and the place they were at could potentially share liability. For the property owner to be considered careless, they must have reasonably known that the unsafe conditions existed and failed to pursue any preventative behavior.

If a company fails to investigate the security guard at a hotel who later assaults a guest, the hotel may be held liable. The court will also consider if you were behaving in a reasonable manner. If you’re not using common sense to avoid a dangerous situation, you may be unable to prove negligence.

Invitees, Licensees, and Trespassers

You have different rights depending on why you were at the place you were injured. If invited, you are considered either an invitee or a licensee and can almost always claim premises liability. Commercial customers, considered “invitees,” and social guests, considered “licensees,” therefore have the greatest rights and expectations of safety.

Your rights are generally not protected if you trespass on someone else’s property. There are some cases where trespassers entered unknowingly in an extremely dangerous situation and have won the case. There can also be child trespassers, minors who would be enticed to break onto your property because, for example, you own a swimming pool. They are awarded more rights, and as a homeowner, you would need to take more precautions to prevent these unwanted visitors as you may still be liable if they are harmed on your property.

If you have been injured from a slip and fall accident on someone’s property where you had the right to feel safe being there, you can file a premises liability claim to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more.
