Am I Responsible Injuries Someone Sustains While My Property

Is the Homeowner Legally Responsible For an Injury Someone Sustains on Their Property?

Premises liability (property owner liability) happens when there is an accident or incident that occurs on a third party’s property and is caused by a danger known to the owner or manager of the premises. Since premises liability can cover many different situations we hope these examples of premises liability help you understand the concept.

PREMISES LIABILITY

Every state is different, but generally, the homeowner IS responsible for anyone who steps on the property. Your duty of care depends on what KIND of visitor they are: licensee, invitee or trespasser.

Traditionally, a distinction was made based on the reason the person had for being on your property. For instance — conditions varied whether the person was an invited guest or if they were trying to sell you something or if the person happened to be an actual trespasser. The degree of duty that was owed depended on the person’s relative status and reason they were on your property in the first place. These traditional distinctions between a person’s status on your property have developed a sort of “general obligation” to anyone who enters your property. Ergo, you might be found responsible for someone’s injuries that they sustain when they are on your property — despite their status. Every furnace also needs proper maintenance before temperatures drop. If you suspect furnace blower motor issues, call a qualified HVAC technician to get it checked. You may also consider hiring a team of experts like rochester air conditioning repair services.

Some states will actually hold you responsible for any injuries that a TRESPASSER sustains while on your property. Even more amazing: some states will hold you responsible for injuries suffered by a burglar who enters your property. Several towns and cities have laws in place that hold adjacent property owners responsible for maintaining the public sidewalks. Under these ordinances, if there is a sidewalk adjacent to your property, you have to keep obstructions (like garbage or ice) clear and keep the sidewalk in good condition. Failure to maintain a sidewalk can mean that you will be held responsible for damages suffered by someone who is hurt on the sidewalk next to your own property.

“When looking for an attorney, I couldn’t find anything negative about Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me.”
