What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that involves negligent property owners. When homeowners, business owners, landowners, and government agencies fail to properly maintain their premises or address dangerous property conditions, innocent people can be hurt. Those injured individuals are entitled to hold negligent property owners accountable by filing premises liability claims and seeking compensation for their damages.

It’s important to note that these are generally very complex claims. Property owners are only liable for injuries incurred on their properties in certain circumstances.

In order to bring a premises liability claim, you must prove all of the following elements:

  • The property owner owed you a duty of care. This means that you were lawfully on the property as an invited guest, visitor, customer, employee, renter, etc. Additionally, Nevada property owners do have a responsibility to avoid causing passive harm to trespassers when an injury can be reasonably prevented.
  • The property owner failed to uphold the duty of care. Generally, this can be proven by establishing that the property owner knew of or should have known about the existence of a dangerous condition, yet did nothing to fix, address, or warn others about it. Property owners cannot be held liable for conditions they could not have reasonably known about.
  • As a result of the property owner’s negligence, you were injured. In other words, you have to show causality between the property owner’s failure to maintain the premises or address a dangerous condition and your injuries. You will also need to show that you sustained measurable damages for which you are seeking compensation.

A property owner may dispute your claim by attempting to show that they didn’t know and couldn’t have reasonably known about the condition that caused your injury. They may argue that you were trespassing and, therefore, they do not owe you the same duty of care as if you were an invited guest.

However, legal precedent prevents property owners from trying to have your claim denied on the basis of a dangerous condition being open and obvious; you can still seek compensation for your injuries if you were harmed by a condition that the property owner believes you should have noticed.

Examples of Unsafe Property Conditions

Property owners and managers are responsible for maintaining safe environments for the public. Business establishments such as hotels, resorts, restaurants, and casinos are responsible for maintaining safe environments for their guests. When something goes wrong and a person is injured while on their property, they can be held accountable.

An unsafe environment can mean several different things. For example, people can be seriously injured if the premises aren't properly maintained.

Examples of this include:

  • Tears in carpet or flooring that cause a person to trip
  • Spills that aren’t cleaned up in a timely manner
  • Unmarked wet surfaces after cleaning
  • Broken chairs or furniture that cause a person to fall
  • Uneven stairs that result in falls
  • Poorly lit stairwells and parking garages
  • Loose items on shelves that can fall and hit someone
  • Presence of objects that pose safety hazards in walk spaces
  • Poor labeling to warn visitors of potential safety hazards

Again, these are complex claims. Pursuing fair compensation after a slip and fall, swimming pool accident, or any other property-related accident is not easy, but having an experienced attorney on your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
