Were You Hurt In A Premises Liability Accident?
Establishing Liability In Pennsylvania
Events that are caused by defective or dangerous property inside or outside a building are called premises liability incidents. These accidents can take place at commercial buildings, at private residences, or on public property, including parks, streets or public transportation.
When you have been hurt because of the negligence or recklessness of a property owner, you may get compensation for your injuries from them. In order to collect on an injury claim in Pennsylvania, you must prove that the property owner or other responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care to prevent the injury by showing that certain conditions apply:
- The responsible individual or business failed to carry out the duty they owed you to help keep their property safe
- You were injured
- Your injury was caused by their failure
