What is a Premises Liability Claim in Redding?
Slip and fall claims are one type of premises liability case, and premises liability is a particular area of personal injury law. Premises liability law recognizes that property owners have a duty to visitors to make sure that their premises are reasonably safe and do not contain unreasonable hazards. When property owners do have hazards on the property that cannot be remedied immediately, property owners then have a duty to warn guests.
Property owners, as well as property renters and managers, owe this duty of care to business guests on the property (such as customers shopping at a business or patrons at a restaurant), as well as to personal guests such as neighbors, friends, family members, or co-workers. If a property owner fails to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner and somebody gets hurt as a result of a hazard on the property, that property owner may be liable for damages.
