What Is A Premise Liability?

Premises are land and buildings that are considered property. Premises liability law requires that a landowner be responsible for specific injuries people present on the premises might encounter. For premises liability to apply to a case, three conditions must be determined:

  • The Defendant must possess the Land
  • The Plaintiff must be an Invitee or Licensee; Trespassers are not protected under Premises Liability Law
  • Some form of Negligence or other Wrongful Act must have occurred
