Premises liability law holds property owners responsible for maintaining safe environments, allowing individuals legal recourse for injuries sustained on their property. Common causes of premises liability claims include poor maintenance, inadequate security, and uncontrolled animals. Key factors influencing liability include the visitor's legal status, presence of warning signs, and the overall care of the property.

Law
Any time that you are on another's property,
whether it is a private residence or a
commercial building, you have the expectation
that the owner of this property performs
acceptable maintenance and that you're
entering a safe space. If a person or entity
doesn't keep their property safe and you
become injured, you may have legal recourse
to file a lawsuit.
