If a property owner fails to fix any defective conditions or properly warn tenants or visitors of their existence, the property owner may be held liable for resulting injuries.

What Defenses Can Property Owners Use Against You in a Premise Liability Case?
- Lack of Notice: The property owner may claim they were unaware of the hazardous condition and, therefore, could not address it promptly.
- Comparative Negligence: The defense may argue that you were partially responsible for the accident due to your actions or failure to exercise reasonable care, which, if successful, can reduce your compensation.
- Open and Obvious Hazard: The property owner may claim that the hazard was visible enough that someone paying attention would have noticed and avoided it.
- Trespassing: If you were trespassing at the time of the accident, the property owner might argue that they owed you no duty of care.
- Assumption of Risk: The defense might claim that you willingly assumed the risk associated with the hazardous condition by entering the property or participating in a specific activity.
How To Help Your Attorney Strengthen Your Premise Liability Case
- Take photos and videos of where the injury took place, any hazardous conditions present and your injuries.
- Obtain witness statements and contact information from anyone present at the scene.
- Get immediate medical attention after the accident and hold onto records pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment plans, prescriptions and any future medical needs related to your injuries.
- Request maintenance records from the property owner or manager that can help establish the hazard’s age and noticeability on the property. This may help prove that the property owner was aware of the hazards and neglected to fix them.
- Providing evidence of complaints, previous incidents or lack of routine inspections can show that the property owner was aware or should have been aware of the hazardous conditions.
- If there was surveillance footage that captured the incident, request footage immediately.
- You may require expert witnesses, such as engineers or safety specialists, to provide their professional analysis of the hazardous conditions.
