What is a premise liability claim? Property owners have an inherent responsibility for what happens on their property and for keeping it free of hazards to prevent injury. They are under a duty of “reasonable care” to keep any visitors safe, meaning that they need to maintain basic safety precautions and routine maintenance.

There are two main types of damages that you can collect after a premise liability lawsuit: economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages refer to financial losses caused by the incident, including medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income due to an inability to work, and physical therapy.
Noneconomic damages refer to other damages incurred from the incident that are not covered by economic damages, including pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and psychological damages such as Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
For legal cases, a cause of action is the reason for filing a claim against a person. In the case of premise liability cases, this is typically the unsafe status of the property and the severity of the injuries sustained from the incident.
The most common premise liability injury is slip-and-fall. These can include slipping on spilled water, unkempt property, uneven pavement or flooring, and building code violations.
Negligent supervision of property can include the following.
