Premises Liability

A premises liability case can be based on injuries occurring in residential and commercial buildings, shopping centers and parking facilities, hotels and casinos, amusement parks, airports, healthcare facilities, nightclubs and bars, as well as universities and public schools. The general rule of law is that the owner or operator of the premises has a duty to keep the premises in reasonably safe condition or at least warn customers of a dangerous condition of which the owner or operator caused, knows about, or should know about.

Premises liability includes far more complicated matters than a "slip and fall" accident in a grocery store. Perhaps one of the more common, but lesser litigated premises liability actions are those involving inadequate security. Inadequate security can give rise to assaults, robbery, sexual assault and homicide, and may be the result of a great variety of elements, including security guard operations, hiring, screening, training needs and supervision; and/or inadequate alarm systems and other security methodologies, including lighting and CCTV.
