“The legal theory of premises liability holds property owners and residents liable for accidents and injuries that occur on that property. The kinds of incidents that may result in claims can range from a slip and fall on a public sidewalk to an injury suffered on an amusement park ride.

Definition of Premises Liability

Premises Liability is determined by the laws and procedures of the state in which the injury occurred. In some states, the court will focus on the status of the injured visitor in determining liability. Premises Liability Law varies from state to state, but the focus will be on the condition of the property and the activities of both the owner and visitor. It is important to remember that an occupier of land, such as an apartment tenant, is treated in the same manner as a landowner in many situations”.
