Premises liability law varies from state to state. In some states, premises liability law focuses on the status of the visitor. Or whether the person was legally on the property. In other states, the focus is on the condition of the property and the activities of the owner and visitor. The owner will be faulted if he knew of a dangerous condition and did nothing to fix it, causing the visitor’s injury.

The most common premise liability case arises from what is commonly referred to as a “slip and fall” or “trip and fall” accident. These cases arise frequently from slippery substances left on the floor in a supermarket, retail store, apartment building, office building or any other building. Other slip and fall cases that give rise to premise liability law suits involve individuals who trip on snow, ice or debris left in areas where one might be expected to walk, such as sidewalk or walkway in front of a business.

Although slip and fall cases are among the most common and well know premise liability cases, our premise liability attorneys handle cases due to many other causes.
