A premises liability case is a type of claim or civil lawsuit that may be filed when someone suffers an injury while on another person's property. The injured person may seek compensation from the property owner for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
To pursue a just outcome in a premises liability case, the injured person must prove that the property owner was negligent in maintaining the premises. Generally, negligence consists of the property owner being aware of a hazardous condition but failing to timely repair it. It may also involve the property owner failing to put up warning signs about possible dangers on the premises. If someone gets hurt, the property owner may be liable for damages.
When bringing a premises liability claim, you must prove that:
- The person you are taking action against owned or had control of the property,
- The individual owed you a duty of care,
- The individual knew that a dangerous condition existed on the premises,
- The individual did not take reasonable steps to fix or address the hazard,
- You were injured because of the property owner’s negligence, and
- You suffered damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain/suffering, because of the accident.

What Incidents Can Give Rise to a Premises Liability Claim?
Many situations can lead to a premises liability claim, as they can arise when a person is hurt on property owned or controlled by another individual. Again, the accident must have occurred because of the property owner's negligence.
Below are a few examples of different types of premises liability cases:
- Swimming pool accidents: These can occur for various reasons but often involve issues with the pool, deck, or surrounding area. For example, if the pool is not properly maintained or does not have adequate safety features, it can pose a danger to swimmers. Likewise, a slippery deck or nearby hazards can lead to accidents.
- Slips and falls: These often occur with flooring or walkway issues, such as loose boards, raised carpets, broken staircases, or spilled liquid. In other cases, they may occur due to inadequate lighting.
- Negligent security: These claims typically arise when someone is attacked or robbed on another person's property. For example, if a business does not have adequate security measures, such as security cameras or guards, this can create a dangerous situation for customers and employees.
- Animal attacks: These often occur when an animal is allowed to roam freely on another person's property and then attacks someone.
Whatever the cause of your accident, a Naples premises liability lawyer at our firm is ready to listen to your side of the story and determine how to move forward.
