What Makes a Premises Liability Case?
While most premises liability cases in Miami tend to be “slip and fall” claims, there is more to know about it than only that. What it truly refers to is preventable harm that occurred on the property of a person or company. It might even occur at your neighbor’s house or while in a parking lot. Just like other forms of personal injury, it can really happen almost anywhere you go.
A premises liability case could be created due to countless factors, but a big part of the blame ends up on poor maintenance or careless employees. Keep in mind the person being help responsible for your injury would need to know about the hazard in order to correct it. If they were aware, yet neglected to take action, that is when you should take action.
