Understanding Property Liability
Many personal injuries are covered by property liability laws - usually, the home or building insurance would pick up the tab for your injury. In order to receive this compensation, however, you must prove that the injury was at least in-part preventable had the owner been more diligent in caring for the property. The property owner could be liable if:
- The equipment on the property was not maintained properly. For example, if a pool drain or filter cover was left broken, a child could reach inside and experience bodily harm. Ladder rungs should be properly fastened. Handrails should be secure. Decks and patios should be cleared of leaves or ice that could cause slipping or tripping.
- No signs warning about dangers were posted. Signs should indicate the presence of a dangerous dog, shallow water, uneven pavement, or a wet floor.
- The property owner failed to have the right number of properly trained security personnel on staff. For example, if there is a riot at a concert and you are injured, the owner of the facility hosting the concert could be liable if the riot could have been prevented by better security.
Property owners could be liable for children's injuries – especially if the property contains an attractive nuisance for young children, such as old farm equipment, private swimming pools, or unsafe playgrounds. Property owners should take preventative measures like posting warning signs and putting up fences.
