What Are the Types of Premises Liability Claims?
Premises liability holds property owners liable for accidents and injuries that occur on their property. These laws vary by state, but generally require property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions on their premises. If they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, the owner of the property can be held legally responsible.
Some Types of Premises Liability Cases Include:- Slip and Fall Accidents: The most common type of premises liability claim, where an individual slips or trips and falls due to a hazardous condition on the property.
- Inadequate Building Security Leading to Injury or Assault: When poor security measures allow for assaults or other harm to guests.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Including drownings or injuries from improperly secured pools.
- Dog Bites: In cases where a pet owner fails to control their animal on the premises.
- Carbon Monoxide, Toxic Fumes or Chemicals: Exposure to hazardous substances due to improper storage, handling, or ventilation.
- Airbnb & Short-Term Vacation Rentals: Injuries sustained at a short-term rental like Airbnb or VRBO because the property owner did not actively do their best to protect their guest or reasonable security measures to prevent possible assaults, robberies, theft, or property damage by a third party.

Who May Be Responsible in Premises Liability Cases?

- Property Owners: If they neglect the necessary maintenance and safety measures needed to keep their property safe.
- Landlords: Responsible for tenant safety in residential properties, landlords must ensure common areas and rental properties are free of hazards.
- Homeowners Associations: If a Homeowners Association fails to maintain the common elements in a reasonably safe condition, it can be held liable.
- Business Operators: If a business fails to keep its premises safe for customers, it may be held accountable for any injuries that result.
- Security Companies: Companies that are hired to provide security services can be liable.
