Premises Liability Law In Silver Spring, Maryland

Premises liability cases involve someone getting hurt on someone else's property, whether public or private. Even something as minor as a burned-out light bulb, a tear in the carpet or a crack in the sidewalk can lead to a serious injury with long-term consequences.

To prove that a property owner is legally responsible for your injuries, you must prove one of the following:

  • The property owner (or manager, tenant or other responsible party) created the dangerous condition.
  • The owner knew about the unsafe condition.
  • The owner reasonablyshould have known about the condition.

Once the owner finds out about a dangerous condition – or should have known about it – they have a legal duty to fix the problem promptly or at least warn visitors about the danger. If the owner fails to do anything and you get injured as a result, you may be able to hold the owner responsible.

Examples Of Unsafe Property Conditions

Premises liability cases can involve all kinds of hazards. For example:

  • Wet, slippery or icy walking surfaces
  • Uneven flooring
  • Unmarked holes, dips or drop-offs
  • Tripping hazards such as fallen produce in a grocery store or poorly designed floor transitions
  • Loose or missing railings
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Negligent security, leading to assault or other crimes
  • Missing or malfunctioning fire safety systems

Dog bites and animal attacks are another form of premises liability claim.

Types Of Injuries Involved In Premises Liability Claims

Unsafe property conditions can lead to all kinds of injuries. The most common include:

  • Neck and back pain from falls
  • Broken bones
  • Soft tissue injuries such as torn ligaments
  • Concussions and other brain injuries

Through a premises liability claim, you may be able to pursue compensation not only for your medical bills, but also for out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the accident.
