Premises liability cases fall under the umbrella of personal injury law. These types of cases dealing with the injuries that are caused by the failure of a property owner to warn visitors of potential hazards or maintain their property. Some of the most common types of premises liability cases including assaults, construction accidents that harm someone visiting, assaults that take place due to inadequate security, and slip and fall cases.
The duty of care that property owners have to a person who is injured while on their property will depend on the relationship present between the owner of the property and the person who was injured.
In most cases of premises liability, the person injured will fall into one of the following categories.
In each case, the property owner will have a different duty of care.
