The Property Owner’s Duty to Protect You
- Premises liability refers to the duty of a property owner to protect you against a slip and fall accident, or from another type of dangerous property condition.
- Property owners, landlords and people responsible for maintaining a property may be liable for injuries that are caused by a dangerous property condition. One common premises liability claim is a serious trip or playground accident.
Workplace Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are also common in the workplace. In 2008 there were 260,610 fall-related nonfatal workplace injuries that required employees to take days off the job, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Workers’ compensation and medical costs from on-the-job slip and fall accidents have been estimated at $70 billion a year in the United States.
