What Are the Causes of Premises Liability Accidents?

To prove fault, a premises liability injury victim must establish how the accident occurred and the factors that played a part. Various unsafe conditions on someone else’s property can cause injuries, such as the following:

  • Slippery floors
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Insufficient lighting
  • Uneven or broken stairs
  • Inadequate security
  • Poorly-maintained equipment like elevators
  • Unrestrained animals
  • Lack of warning signs
  • Inaccessible emergency exits 

Types of Premises Liability Cases You Can Sue for

Because there are many causes of premises liability accidents, there are also various types of cases arising from injuries on another person’s property. Some of the most common cases the NST Law lawyers in Little Rock, AR, can help you recover damages for are:

Proving Who's Responsible for Your Injuries After a Premises Liability Accident in Arkansas

Establishing fault or liability means determining who’s responsible for the negligent acts that caused your injuries and the resulting damages. To qualify for compensation, accident victims must prove that the property owner owed them a duty of care, breached this duty, and caused injuries and other types of injuries. 

In most cases, a breach of duty means the property owner must have known about the hazard’s existence but failed to take action and prevent injuries. The reason for your visit to the premises could also potentially impact the property owner’s level of liability. 

Visitor Status and How It Can Affect Your Premises Liability Claim

There are three categories of visitors on a property:

  • Invitees are those present on a premises with direct or indirect permission and for the owner’s benefit. Examples include customers in a grocery store or tenants in an apartment building. Property owners owe the highest standards of care to invitees.
  • Licensees are people with implied consent to be on a property or those invited for social purposes, such as guests at a dinner party. Property owners must disclose any non-obvious hazards but owe less of a duty to licensees.  
  • Trespassers are those who are not legally allowed to be on a property. Property owners have no legal obligation towards trespassers but must not cause intentional harm.
