Premises Liability
Premises liability is an area of law that deals with injuries that arise on public and private property. Property owners and tenants have a duty to make sure that people who come onto their property are not injured by dangerous conditions or defects. When a person is injured due to the negligence of a landlord or tenant, then the injured person may file a premises liability lawsuit to recover compensation for medical expenses and other damages arising out of their injury.
Common grounds for premises liability lawsuits include:
There are many situations in which both a tenant and a landlord will be liable for injuries that occur on property. Examples include slip-and-falls that happen in a mall or at a friend’s apartment.

In recent years, landlords and businesses have successfully lobbied to decrease their liability for slip-and-fall accidents, which makes these kinds of lawsuits increasingly difficult to win. The attorneys at Humphrey Farrington have the skills and knowledge in premises liability litigation to successfully build a case and hold a negligent property owner or occupier accountable for the damage he or she has caused.
