There are many types of incidents that fall under premises liability law, including slip and fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pools accidents, assaults due to inadequate security, and more. The liable parties in your claim will vary depending on the type of accident and where it occurred. No matter what type of property or accident involved, It is critical to the success of your premises liability claim that you find each potentially responsible defendant. You should leave this in the hands of your premises liability attorney.

The facts of the case determine the liable party. For example, if you are a customer in a grocery store and you get injured, you might have a claim against the store owner, store employees, and even third parties that caused the accident. If you are injured in someone’s home, you might have a legal claim against the homeowner or a third party who caused or contributed to the accident. 

Most injured people receive payment from various insurance policies of the parties who caused the accident. Depending on the facts of the case, your attorney might file an insurance claim or a lawsuit against the business owner’s insurance, a homeowner’s insurance policy, a rental insurance policy, etc. 

In some cases, the accident victim is hurt on a property not owned by the person who invited them to the property. For example, if your friend invites you over to their apartment and you get hurt, you might have a claim against their renters insurance policy, the landlord, or against the property management company that manages the apartment complex. 

Liability for compensation can get complicated. Speaking with an attorney allows you to understand who owes you compensation after you suffered an injury on someone else’s property or in someone else’s home.
