Premises liability is a legal doctrine that holds property owners responsible for injuries that occur on their property. This responsibility extends to both the property itself and the activities that take place on it. Understanding the principles of premises liability is important for both property owners and visitors. By taking steps to prevent injuries and ensuring that their property is safe, property owners can protect themselves from legal liability.
Client’s case
Our 90 year old client tripped and fell on a misaligned elevator. She fractured her shoulder, requiring surgery. When discovery proceedings were completed, we took the unusual step of moving for immediate judgment. The case then quickly settled at a mediation.
