“Premises liability refers to injuries that take place at someone’s residence, or someone’s business or on someone’s property. For example, if you have suffered a slip and fall at a grocery store, that would be handled as a premises liability case. If you are injured at somebody’s house, that would be handled as a premises liability case. When you are at a residence, or more importantly, when you are at a business, that business owner owes you a special duty of care. It’s a higher duty of care than in almost all other types of law. If you go into a store, and there is a stain that causes you to slip, or some sticky substance on the floor, or there’s been a hole in their parking lot that they haven’t fixed, and you’re there to transact business, to buy something, they owe you a special duty of care. We have represented many clients who have been injured either in parking lots, or in stores when the business owner didn’t take the time to fix what was wrong in that store and it led to injuries. We as a law firm represent individuals and have done so many times when they have been injured at a business, or a residence through no fault of their own. We file our complaints under the premises liability statute.”
