What Is A “Premises” And “Liability”?

Premises is another word for place, property, building or business. Any commercial property is a premises. Liability means responsibility. Premises liability is a legal term that refers to the responsibility of a property’s owner, manager or operator to maintain that property and keep it safe.

If you were injured on a premises such as a retail store, apartment complex, gas station, restaurant, or other public or commercial place and your injuries were caused due to subpar security or maintenance on the premises, you may be entitled to compensation.

Commercial properties are typically required to have premises liability insurance. This is a safeguard to ensure that if someone does get hurt on the property, the owner has the means to pay for the medical care of the injured person.

You Have Rights After An Injury Or Assault

You may have cause to pursue a personal injury/premises liability case if you:

• Slipped/tripped and fell
• Injured due to negligent building repairs or maintenance on a property
• Were assaulted or mugged on a property
• Attacked by an employee of a business/establishment

Any time something injurious or traumatic happens to you while you are on a commercial property, you may have a personal injury case. If you were assaulted, you may have both a civil and criminal cast that can be pursued. In a civil case, the case is against the property owner, not the perpetrator of the incident.

Every state in the U.S. has different laws and standards to which business owners must adhere in relation to securing their premises. Call me, attorney Kristina Ducos, to find out what steps to take and how I can help. Your phone call, email or meeting with me is always free of charge.
