Who Is Liable For Personal Injury Accidents On Private Property?

Call Now Free Case Evaluation

Accidents happen, and sometimes they happen on private property. If you have recently been injured in a preventable accident that occurred on private property, you may be wondering who you can hold liable for your injuries and other losses. Read on to find out.

Whose Negligence Was It?

Under state law, when someone’s negligence causes an injury-causing accident, victims can typically hold the negligent party liable for their losses. This is true whether the accident occurred on public or private property. For example, if you are injured by a drunk driver in a privately-owned parking lot, that drunk driver will likely be liable for your injuries.

If, however, your accident was the result of a hazardous condition on the private property itself, it is possible that the owner or renter of that property could be liable for your injuries. For instance, if you slipped and fell at a grocery store because their staff failed to clean up a spill for several hours, you would likely be able to hold the company that owned the store liable for your injuries. Some examples of hazardous conditions that are often the result of property owner negligence include:

  • Inadequate lighting
  • Torn carpet
  • Cracked pavement
  • Uneven stairs
  • Missing handrails
  • Accumulations of snow or ice
  • Slippery floors
  • Exposed cables or wiring
