What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners, managers, or businesses responsible when someone is injured on their property due to unsafe or dangerous conditions. These injuries can happen in homes, apartment buildings, stores, parking lots, restaurants, or public walkways.

To win a premises liability case, you typically need to show that:

  • The property owner or occupier had a duty to keep the area safe
  • They failed to correct or warn about a known hazard
  • That failure directly caused your injury

Postman Law helps clients gather evidence, identify liable parties, and file a strong claim under the applicable state laws.

Common Types of Hazardous Condition Cases We Handle

These accidents can happen in seconds—but the impact on your life can last for months or years. Postman Law will work to hold the responsible parties accountable.

  • Slip and Fall Accidents caused by wet floors, ice, spills, or uneven surfaces
  • Trip and Fall Incidents due to broken stairs, torn carpeting, or poor lighting
  • Falling Object Injuries in stores, warehouses, or construction zones
  • Inadequate Maintenance, such as cracked sidewalks or faulty handrails
  • Unsafe Entrances and Exits, including unmarked steps or cluttered walkways
  • Negligent Security leading to assault or other harm
  • Swimming Pool Accidents related to missing fences, slick tiles, or lack of supervision
  • Dog Bites or Animal Attacks on private or commercial property

Act Quickly to Protect Your Rights

Premises liability cases are subject to strict deadlines known as statutes of limitations. Evidence also disappears quickly: spills are cleaned, video footage is deleted, and accident reports may go missing.

We move fast to investigate, secure evidence, and file your claim on time.
