Establishing Negligence in Premises Liability Cases

In order to hold premises owners accountable for a victim’s damages, your personal injury claim must clearly demonstrate that they acted in a negligent, careless, or unlawful manner. In order to establish negligence and liability, a Phoenix personal injury lawyer from Gerber Injury Law can conduct thorough investigations into the circumstances surrounding your accident.

A few examples of the negligent acts for which premises owners can be held accountable include:

• Health and safety code violations
• State or local animal code violations
• Failures to inspect properties for risks or defects
• Failures to adequately warn guests of potential dangers
• Failures to address and fix hazards
• Failures to keep children safe from attractive nuisances

Proving negligence takes establishing four main elements. The first is a duty to exercise reasonable care. A property owner may have had several legal obligations to you depending on your status as an invitee or licensee (or minor trespasser). The second is a breach, or violation, of the duty of care. An owner may be guilty of a breach of duty if a prudent owner would have been able to prevent your injuries. The third is causation between the landowner’s negligence and your accident. The fourth is compensable damages suffered by you, the plaintiff.

What Compensation Is Available?

Compensable damages during the average premises liability claim include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damages, legal expenses, court costs, travel expenses, and punitive damages. The value of your case will depend on your unique losses and the extent of your injuries. A lawyer from Gerber Injury Law can estimate your claim’s value during a free consultation in Arizona.
