Premises Liability

Under United States law, an individual injured on a piece of private land may sue the property’s owner for injuries suffered. This law is known as premises liability, and it holds property owners accountable for their properties.

There are a number of injuries that may allow an individual to file a lawsuit. If you or someone you love suffered an injury on someone else’s property because of dangerous conditions or disrepair on that property, contact the Pennsylvania premises liability lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.

Filing a Claim

Not all injuries that occur on someone else’s property will fill all the requirements for a premises liability lawsuit. For a premises liability case to be successful, the following conditions must be present:

• The defendant owns the property on which the injury occurred
• The defendant knew (or should have known) about a hazard and failed to warn guests of it, or failed to take actions to correct it in a reasonable amount of time
• The injury suffered by the plaintiff was directly caused by the hazard in question

Each of these conditions must apply for an individual to win his or her case on the grounds of premises liability. A negligent action that results in injury may include poor maintenance of the property or unsafe conditions.
