Premises Liability Attorneys
Property Owner or Occupier Liability
Premises liability law refers to the liability of a person or company for injuries and damages done to others arising from their ownership or possession of real property. Under Ohio law, there must be negligence or carelessness for the property owner or occupier of the property to be held liable for injuries that occur on their property. Simply owning or occupying land does not make the owner or occupier liable.
Types of premises liability cases include:
Injuries or death arising from dog bites, construction accidents, swimming pool drowning incidents, fires, insufficient lighting in common areas, inadequate security, and slip and fall or trip and fall accidents. Many times, an injury or death occurs due to the negligence of the property owner or occupier.
When someone is injured on another’s land, the issue of Homeowner’s or Commercial Liability Insurance needs to be considered.
If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of negligence or carelessness on someone else’s property, please call your attorneys at Caravona & Czack to protect and discuss your legal rights.
