Premises liability refers to the responsibility property owners have for injuries to individuals, which result from unsafe conditions on the property, including slip and falls, inadequate security, faulty premises, dog attacks, and swimming pool accidents. It applies to private residences, businesses, and public areas. To prove a plaintiff’s premises liability case, the injured person must demonstrate that he/she was owed a duty of care (by the property owner), the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, and that the condition was the legal cause of the harm. 

Not every lawyer will handle a premises liability case. You need a personal injury lawyer that has relevant experience. Premises liability law is built to hold property owners to a standard of care for injuries happening on unsafe premises. An experienced premises liability lawyer will know the relevant laws, how to prove negligence, how to gather evidence, how to negotiate with the insurance company and in the event, if it must go to trial, then how to prepare it for trial.
