If you are reading this then you likely realize that you may be able to seek compensation from a property owner if you have been injured while on their property. These cases are known as premises liability claims. What merits a legitimate premises liability claim? If, after reading the information below, you are still uncertain whether or not you have a legitimate premises liability claim or are interested in retaining legal counsel, contact our offices for a free consultation at 610.667.1500. We will evaluate all the details of your accident and provide you with your legal options.

THERE ARE A COUPLE TYPES OF VISITORS IN REGARDS TO PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS

• Invitees – who are welcomed visitors to a commercial property for the property owner’s benefit

• Licensees – who are welcomed visitors to a non-commercial property for the property owner’s benefit

• Trespassers – who are unauthorized visitors and are those who illegally enter a property

SAFETY OBLIGATIONS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS

• To seek out and to warn visitors of potentially dangerous hazards on their property

• To warn visitors of any pre-existing safety hazards on the property of which the property owner is aware 

However, property owners do not have to follow all of these safety obligations for all three types of visitors. Invitees are the only type of visitor that must be afforded to all three types of visitors.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MORE COMMON OCCURRENCES OF PERSONAL LIABILITY?

• Slips and falls from wet floors, loose tiles, black ice, snow, poorly placed electrical cords, or hazardous materials

• Dangerous environments or exposed materials, unidentified threats within a given space

• Falls occurring on stairs when handrails are not available, escalators, uneven steps, etc.

• Elevators and escalator malfunction

• Animal attacks and dog bites
