Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors, tenants, and customers. When they fail to do so—leading to injuries like negligent security, slips, trips, dog bites, or structural collapses—they can be held legally accountable under premises liability laws.
At Novo Law, we help injured individuals navigate complex legal claims involving unsafe conditions, negligent maintenance, and inadequate warnings on both public and private properties. You deserve compensation for what you’ve endured, and we’re here to make that happen.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners or occupiers for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or defective conditions. These accidents can happen in homes, stores, restaurants, parking lots, hotels, or public buildings.
To successfully bring a premises liability claim, you must prove that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to address it in a timely and reasonable manner.
  • Covers a broad range of injuries from unsafe property conditions
  • Applies to homeowners, landlords, business owners, and government agencies
  • Requires proof of negligence, causation, and damages

Common Causes of Premises Liability Claims

Wet or Slippery Floors
Lack of proper signage or maintenance can turn freshly cleaned or leaking floors into hazards.
Broken or Uneven Flooring
Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or uneven stairs can cause trips and falls.
Inadequate Lighting
Poorly lit hallways, staircases, or parking lots make hazards harder to see, increasing injury risks.
Lack of Warning Signs
Failing to post warnings around temporary hazards like construction zones or spills puts visitors at risk.
Negligent Security
If a property owner doesn’t provide adequate security in high-risk areas, they can be held liable for resulting crimes.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Pet owners or property managers who fail to control aggressive animals may be responsible for injuries.
