Understanding Premises Liability Law

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility property owners and managers have to maintain their property in a safe condition for visitors, customers, tenants, and guests. When they fail to repair dangerous conditions or provide adequate warnings, innocent individuals can suffer serious injuries. These incidents often occur in stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, private homes, hotels, parking lots, office buildings, and many other locations. Victims are left dealing with medical expenses, pain, emotional trauma, and disruptions to their daily lives — all because a property owner neglected their duty of care.

Common Types of Premises Liability Accidents

Premises liability covers a wide range of incidents, including:

• Slip and Falls: Wet floors, spilled liquids, loose tiles, or recently mopped areas without proper warning.
• Trip and Falls: Uneven sidewalks, potholes, cluttered walkways, torn carpet, or exposed wiring.
• Negligent Security: Assaults, robberies, or attacks caused by improper lighting, lack of security, or broken locks.
• Falling Objects: Merchandise or objects falling from shelves or overhead storage in stores.
• Dog Bites or Animal Attacks: Injuries caused by unrestrained or aggressive animals on someone else’s property.
• Structural Failures: Broken handrails, collapsing ceilings, defective stairs, or unstable balconies.
• Elevator and Escalator Accidents: Malfunctions or sudden mechanical failures.

These accidents can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, spinal cord damage, lacerations, or long-term disabilities.

Property Owner Responsibilities

Property owners, landlords, and business operators are expected to:

• Conduct regular inspections
• Repair hazardous conditions quickly
• Provide clear warnings when dangers cannot be corrected immediately
• Keep floors, walkways, and common areas safe
• Maintain proper lighting in hallways, staircases, and parking lots
• Ensure safety equipment such as handrails and locks function properly
• Address known dangers promptly

When these responsibilities are ignored, the property owner may be held liable for resulting injuries.

Proving a Premises Liability Claim

Attorney Kevin Acevedo and the team at ACE Law take a thorough and strategic approach to building a strong case. They gather evidence such as:

• Surveillance footage
• Photos of the dangerous condition
• Witness statements
• Maintenance and inspection records
• Expert opinions
• Incident reports

To succeed in a premises liability case, the injured party must demonstrate:

1. The property owner owed a duty of care
2. A dangerous condition existed
3. The owner knew or should have known about the hazard
4. The owner failed to fix or warn about it
5. The hazard caused the injury
