Premises Liability Claims
Cape Cod Personal Injury Lawyer
When a welcomed guest or visitor is injured on someone else’s property,
the controller or owner of that property can be found liable for damages,
even if they were not around when the accident happened. This is a legal
concept known as premises liability, which states that homeowners, property
controllers, store managers, and so forth always have an inherent responsibility
to protect their guests from unreasonable harm. If you were hurt on another
person’s property, you may need to make a premises liability claim
to seek compensation.

Unreasonable Danger Defined
The timeline of a premises liability claim is crucial to how it will play
out. Property owners can only be held accountable for injuries that are
caused by unreasonable dangers or hazards that should have been addressed
before the accident took place. If the hazard existed for a brief period
of time or in an unexpected location, some of the liability could fall
upon the victim.
For example: If you slipped on a puddle of water leaking from the sink in the restroom
at a restaurant, you could have a solid premises liability claim. The
restaurant owner should have hourly inspections of the bathroom and should
have known about a leaky sink readily.
For example: If you were in line at a retail store and slipped in a puddle of soda
the shopper standing in front of you just dropped, the store owner would
likely not be held accountable; not enough time would have passed between
the moment the spill occurred and your fall, and it would be unreasonable
to expect the owner to immediately retrieve a mop. You could possibly
sue the person who dropped the beverage, however.
