Premises liability is one of the fastest growing segments of personal injury claims for both residential and business owners. According to the law, property owners are obligated to provide safe, secure and properly maintained premises. Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, property owners may be held liable if injury occurs. If you have fallen and been injured on somebody else's property, you may claim reasonable compensation for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost capacity for the enjoyment of life, as well as medical bills and lost wages.

Many factors can impact the outcome of a fall-down injuries/premises liability case. Did the injury result from a natural or artificial condition of the premises? Was the property satisfactorily maintained? Was the facility inadequately secured?

Generally, the law provides for compensation of preventable accidents, but a property owner is not automatically responsible for a fall-down injury simply because it happened on his property. The injured person must prove:

1. The existence of a hazardous condition; and
2. That the dangerous condition was either created by the property owner or his employees or was actually known by the property owner or his employees or that the property owner or his employees should have known of the existence of the hazardous condition.
