PREMISES LIABILITY
What Is Personal Injury in a Premises Liability Case?
Personal injury because of unsafe premises is any injury to the body, mind or emotions, but does not cover any injury to property. Personal injury claims are those where the plaintiff's injury has been caused by the negligence of another party. In these cases, property owners are held responsible for the injuries those properties cause. If the negligence of one of these property owners can be proven, the injured person may be entitled to monetary compensation.
Situations That Are Grounds for Premises Liability Claims
There are several situations that fall under the umbrella of personal injury claims from unsafe premises. These situations include:
• Construction Accidents
• Slip and Fall Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Inadequate Security Claims
• Burn Injuries
- Scalding
- Fires
• Exposure to Harmful Substances
- Asbestos
- Lead Poisoning
- Toxic Substance Exposure
