What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability law holds property owners and occupiers responsible when unsafe or defective property conditions cause injury. These cases apply to both residential and commercial properties and include a wide range of hazards — from slippery floors to inadequate security.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, premises liability claims make up nearly 17% of all tort cases nationwide, second only to motor vehicle claims.
At Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, we believe everyone has the right to expect safe public and private property that meets local safety standards. If you’ve been injured because of property owner negligence, we can help you pursue full and fair compensation.
