What Is a Premise Liability Cause of Action?
A cause of action is the reason for bringing a claim for damages against someone. In a premise liability case, also known as a slip-and-fall case, the cause is unsafe property and the injuries sustained from it. Usually, premise liability claims put the property owner as the defendant because it is the owner’s legal duty to ensure their property is free from any hazards. The property owner usually needs to pay for the victim’s losses.
The All-Too-Common Slip-and-Fall
Slip-and-fall injuries are the most common. The reasons for these injuries include the following:
- Slip on spilled water
- A poorly marked hazard, such as a raised threshold
- Unkempt property
- Uneven pavement or flooring
- Building code violations
- Mis-leveled elevators or malfunctioning escalators
Negligent Supervision of Property
This type of negligence comes in different forms:
- A victim is injured by another guest due to a lack of security
- A victim is injured due to unsafe recreational equipment
- A victim is bitten by the resident’s pet
- A victim has injuries from an elevator, escalator, or stairwell accident
- A victim drowns in an unsafe or unrestricted swimming pool
- A victim is injured in a fire or flood
- A victim has injuries from a dangerous or defective work environment

Premise Liability and Apartment Injuries
If you experience an injury while on a rental property, the owner of the property could be liable. For instance, your landlord could be the one responsible for compensating you for your damages, especially if the injury is a result of a property defect or maintenance problem (like mold, a leaky pipe, or unsafe construction). The same applies if you are injured while staying at an Airbnb or hotel.
Always contact our premise liability lawyers to ensure you are fairly compensated in any incident involving premise liability. We will take an in-depth look at your rights to ensure that you are getting fair and just compensation.
