Premises liability law in Connecticut holds property owners, landlords, businesses, and occupiers responsible when unsafe or defective conditions cause injury. These claims apply to commercial properties, residential buildings, and public spaces.
A premises liability claim generally requires proof that:
The defendant owned, occupied, managed, or controlled the property
A dangerous condition existed
The owner knew or should have known about the hazard
They failed to repair it or provide adequate warning
Connecticut law gives injured people the right to pursue compensation when negligence causes harm.

What We Must Prove in a Connecticut Premises Liability Claim
To succeed in a Connecticut premises liability case, we typically prove:
Ownership or control of the property by the defendant
Existence of a hazardous condition that caused the injury
Actual or constructive notice (the owner knew or should have known)
Failure to fix or warn within a reasonable time
Property owners and insurers often argue the hazard was “open and obvious” or blame the injured person. We build evidence to counter those defenses.
