Holding Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions

When property owners neglect their responsibilities, accidents can happen. Premises liability claims often involve:

• Slip and fall accidents

• Dog bites or attacks

• Swimming pool accidents

• Negligent security

• Elevator and escalator accidents

• Inadequate fire safety measures

• Building collapses

It’s important to note that not every injury on another person’s property qualifies as negligence. The property owner may not have known about the hazard or may have taken reasonable steps to address it. A premises liability attorney at Nozicka Law can evaluate your case to determine if the owner’s actions—or lack thereof—played a role in your injury.

Property Owners’ Duties to Visitors

To prove negligence in a premises liability claim, the injured party must show that the property owner failed to meet their legal duty of care. The extent of that duty depends on the visitor’s status:

• Invitees: Customers, clients, or others invited onto a property for business purposes. Property owners must actively maintain a safe environment and warn invitees of known hazards.

• Licensees: Social guests invited onto private or public property. Owners must warn licensees of any known dangers but are not required to inspect for unknown hazards.

• Trespassers: Property owners generally owe no duty to trespassers unless the trespasser is a child. Under the attractive nuisance doctrine, owners must take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents involving children and hazards like pools or machinery that could draw their attention.

Understanding these distinctions is critical to building a strong case. At Nozicka Law, we’ll analyze your situation to determine whether the property owner breached their duty of care.
