What Is Considered a Premises Liability Case?

In order to prove a premises liability case, you will need to show that the property owner owed you a duty of care, that they failed to uphold this duty, and that this failure resulted in an injury. Most commonly, premises liability cases involve slip and fall accidents, but they can also be brought against negligent security providers, negligent property managers, and more.

In order to win your case, you will need to prove that the property owner's negligence:

• Caused your injuries
• Was the direct cause of your injuries
• Was the proximate cause of your injuries

What Is the Duty of Care in a Premises Liability Case?

In order to prove that the property owner owed you a duty of care, you will need to show that you were owed a reasonable level of care. In a premises liability case, the property owner is typically expected to keep their premises reasonably safe for people who are lawfully on the premises. In other words, the property owner is expected to keep their premises reasonably safe for their guests and visitors.

In a premises liability case, the property owner is typically expected to keep their premises reasonably safe for:

• Their guests
• Their invited guests
• People who are lawfully on the premises

In some cases, the property owner may owe a duty of care to everyone who is reasonably expected to be on the premises. For example, a grocery store may be expected to keep their premises reasonably safe for all of their customers, not just their invited customers.

What Damages Are Compensable in a Premises Liability Claim?

In a premises liability claim, you will be able to seek compensation for any damages that you have suffered. These damages can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and more. The exact damages that you can seek compensation for will depend on the specific circumstances of your case.

In a premises liability claim, you may be able to seek compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Property damage

If you were injured due to a slip and fall accident, then you may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you were injured due to a security breach, then you may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
