Common Examples of Premises Liability Negligence

Anyone who owns, possesses or controls a property has a duty to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition. If the owner or person in control of the property fails to warn people or repair a dangerous condition, the courts may find them in breach of a duty of care, which is known as “negligence.”

These are common examples of premises liability negligence:

• Failing to clean up a spilled liquid
• Leaving debris in walkways
• Not drying floor surfaces
• Failure to repair holes on the property
• Not abiding by building codes
• Insufficient lighting in stairwells
• Not fixing torn or pulled carpet
• Not performing necessary building maintenance
