Premise & Home Liability
The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control estimates that more than 8 million people a year are injured in slip-and-fall accidents. In people 65 and older, 90% of hip fractures were due to falls, and of those one in five people will die within a year. Property owners are supposed to be responsible for making sure their premises are reasonably safe and there are no apparent dangers—but that doesn't always happen.
Although slip-and-fall injuries are the most common, there are many other types of premise liability situations. Other possible situations include animal attacks, assault by employees or patrons of a business, construction site accidents and failure to provide proper security. Whether you fall while at home in your apartment building or are injured while visiting an establishment, you have the right to expect that your surroundings are safe and you are protected.
For information on how to prevent slips and falls in the home, read this article from the National Safety Council.
