Understanding “Duty of Care”
Premises liability claims center around a legal concept called “duty of care.” Duty of care is the obligation that property owners have to provide safe conditions and proper warnings of possible hazards to welcome visitors. When there is an injury, it is up to the plaintiff to provide evidence that this duty has been breached.
Successful premises liability claims must demonstrate:
That the defendant owed the plaintiff duty of care
That the defendant did not provide that care
That the lack of care allowed for dangerous conditions to be present
That those conditions led directly to an injury
Commonly, premises liability claims are called “slip and fall” cases, but dog bites, toxic exposure, and other property-specific injuries can be considered premises liability claims, as well. No matter what the circumstances of your case are, our team is ready to provide you with legal options and, if necessary, bring exacting and proactive legal action to the responsible parties on your behalf.
