Property owners have an obligation and a responsibility to ensure that their property is safe for consumers and guests alike. This is what is known as “premises liability” and typically includes ensuring that the property receives the proper upkeep, has sufficient security if and when required and has proper lighting, hand rails, non-slip floor coverings, etc.
When a property owner neglects their property, fails to take care of it, or refuses to install the proper safety features to protect consumers and guests, it can become a danger to anyone and everyone who enters the property. Common causes of injuries relating to premises liability include:
- Dog bite
- Uneven pavement
- Uncleared snow
- Wet floors
- Concealed holes
- Poorly secured floor mats
- Standing water
- Inadequate security
- Icy walkways
- Falling objects
- Other hazards
