Premises Liability

The area of Pennsylvania personal injury law known as premises liability covers slip and fall accidents and other injuries caused by the negligence of a landowner or business owner. If you’ve been injured because of an unsafe situation on someone else’s property, the Central Pennsylvania personal injury attorneys of Saidis, Sullivan & Rogers can help you determine if you have grounds for a premises liability lawsuit.

Grounds for a Premises Liability Lawsuit in Pennsylvania

If you have suffered an injury on someone else’s property, there are some specific criteria your situation must meet in order to collect compensation in a Pennsylvania premises liability lawsuit. A qualified Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer should thoroughly evaluate your claim before you proceed with a premises liability lawsuit, but the following are the basic elements of a premises liability case:

• Duty– The owner/operator of the place where you were injured should have foreseen the risk of injury.
• Breach– The owner/operator must have failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent foreseeable injuries.
• Causation– The owner/operator’s breach directly or indirectly lead to your injury.
• Damages– There was a demonstrable harm you suffered as a result of the owner/operator’s negligence.

Even if you were partially at fault in your slip and fall accident or other injury, you may still be entitled to damages. In Pennsylvania, the defendant can be held liable for all compensation for your injuries if he or she is found to be 61% negligent or more. If the defendant’s negligence contributed to less than 61% of the cause of your injuries, he or she can be ordered to pay a percentage of damages proportional to his or her share of negligence.
