Common Causes of Premises Liability

Common causes include the following:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, loose carpeting, or inadequate lighting can create hazards that lead to slip and fall injuries.
• Poor Maintenance: Broken stairs, handrails, or flooring often cause accidents that could have been prevented with proper upkeep.
• Negligent Security: Inadequate security measures, like missing locks, broken fences, or inadequate lighting, can lead to assaults or other crimes.
• Dog Bites: Property owners may be held responsible if their pet attacks a visitor or passerby.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Lack of safety barriers, slippery surfaces, or poor supervision can result in serious injuries.
• Falling Objects: Items improperly secured on shelves or construction materials left unsecured can cause serious harm.

Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases

Accidents caused by unsafe conditions on someone’s property could result in a wide spectrum of injuries. Common injuries include:

• Fractures and Broken Bones: Slips, trips, and falls often result in broken bones, especially in the wrists, hips, and ankles.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A blow to the head caused by a fall or falling object could result in a concussion or more serious brain injury.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Falls or other serious accidents may damage the spinal cord, resulting in temporary or permanent disability.
• Lacerations and Bruises: Sharp objects, broken glass, or debris can cause deep cuts and significant bruising.
• Burns: Unsafe electrical wiring or improperly maintained heating systems can result in burns or electrical injuries.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, or torn ligaments are common in premises liability cases.

These injuries can have long-lasting physical, emotional, and financial consequences for victims and their families.
