Premises Liability

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.

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.

FAQs

Is a landlord responsible for injuries on rental property?

Yes, if the injury was due to a known issue or failure to maintain the property, they can be liable.

What if I was partially at fault?

If you are found more than 50% at fault, recovery is barred. Hiring skilled counsel can help minimize comparative fault.

Can I sue the government for unsafe public property?

Yes—but strict deadlines and procedures apply. Contact us right away if your injury happened on public property.

What if there were no witnesses?

Evidence like photos, medical records, and property inspection reports can support your claim.

What’s the statute of limitations?

Most states allow 1–3 years from the date of injury—but exceptions apply. Don’t wait to reach out.
