What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal obligation to ensure their property is safe for guests, visitors, and sometimes even trespassers.

Examples of unsafe conditions that lead to premises liability claims include:
- Wet floors and slippery surfaces
- Broken stairs or missing handrails
- Poor lighting in hallways or stairwells
- Unmaintained walkways or sidewalks
- Lack of warning signs about hazardous areas
