Premises
Under the premises liability law, any condition that is unsafe and could have reasonably been prevented by a property owner or manager is grounds for a premises liability lawsuit if it caused an injury to someone else. Common premises liability claims are as follows:
- Defective conditions (such as broken stairs)
- Faulty construction
- Lack of warning signs for any dangerous areas or conditions
- Poor lighting
- Uneven walking surfaces (such as floors, carpets, or sidewalks)
- Unmarked wet floors
- Unsafe food products
- Workplace injuries (includes construction accidents)
