Premises Liability
Property owners — private and municipal — have a legal duty to keep their property reasonably safe. When a dangerous condition the owner knew or should have known about causes an injury, the owner or management company can be held responsible.
Common premises liability claims include slip-and-falls on uneven sidewalks or icy walkways, retail store injuries from hazardous conditions or falling merchandise, dog bites, and negligent security claims against apartment or office buildings.
