Home / Premises injuries
Hurt on someone else’s property
Stores, apartments, parking decks and hotels owe visitors reasonable care.
The basic duty
Owners must use ordinary care to keep their premises reasonably safe for people invited there for business. In fall cases, the question is usually what the owner knew or should have known about the hazard compared to what you knew.
| Situation | Key evidence |
|---|---|
| Fall in a store | Video, inspection logs, incident report |
| Broken stairs or lighting | Maintenance records, complaints, photos |
| Attack at an apartment complex | Prior crimes, broken gates and locks, security records |
