Premises Liability: Who is Liable?

Property owners and business owners are legally responsible if you are injured on their property if it can be shown that the injuries are due to negligence or another wrongful act. If the owner knew about a problem - debris on the sidewalk, for example - and did not correct it or warn you about it, they may well be responsible for the costs of the injury you suffered.

The law can get somewhat complicated: who is responsible for a public sidewalk in front of a home in which circumstances? Can the property owner be held responsible for injuries to a crime victim? Does the injured party bear some responsibility? It is best to consult an experienced premises liability lawyer for advice when you suspect a lawsuit could cover expenses you have incurred from such an accident.
