Premises liability cases include accidents that take place due to negligent maintenance, or unsafe and dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises.

Premises liability accidents consist of uneven floor surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators, broken steps, slips and falls, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, and dangerous chemicals exposure.

If a property owner is found to have been negligent, and there negligence caused an injury, the property owner is liable.
