Recovering Damages for Injuries on Dangerous Property
Premises liability is the legal term for a property owner's legal responsibility to maintain buildings, facilities and land in a reasonably safe condition. People get hurt all the time as the result of an owner's negligence in lighting buildings, removing construction debris, keeping floors dry or supervising children at play.

Frequently disputed issues of fact or law in premises liability litigation often concern the relative responsibility of the plaintiff and the defendant for avoiding the accident. Did the owner have actual knowledge of the risk, or should the owner have known about it? Did the injured person exercise reasonable care? How much risk of injury did the plaintiff assume simply by being on the property?
