What is a premises liability accident?

Premises liability is a term used to describe the legal obligations of property owners to protect people from getting hurt on their property. In particular, property owners must address potentially hazardous or dangerous situations on their property, especially if the public has access to it. Examples of premises liability accidents include:

• Slip and fall accidents on someone else’s property, including falling in a stairway due to a loose hand railing, slipping on water on the floor in a restaurant or tripping on a pothole in a parking lot.
• Swimming pool accidents, particularly if the pool does not have fencing around it or a lock preventing children from accessing the pool.
• Animal attacks, including dog bites, due to a dog not being fenced in or left loose on someone’s property.
• Physical attacks at a hotel, retail store or on someone else’s property due to poor lighting, improperly working locks, lack of security or other dangerous conditions.

Whatever type of premises liability accident you’re dealing with, don’t underestimate the complexity of your legal case. Make sure you take your case seriously right from the start. Talk to an experienced lawyer who can review the details of your potential case and explain the options available to you.

Who determines who’s at fault?

Many people often have a lot to say when it comes to determining who caused your injury accident. But the people who often have the most influence when it comes to determining who is at fault are insurance companies. That’s because Indiana has a fault-based insurance system. This means the at-fault party (and their insurance company) is often responsible for financially compensating injury victims for their accident-related expenses. Such expenses often include medical bills, lost income if injury victims cannot work during their recovery and lost future income if they sustain a permanent disability that prevents them from being able to work.

Because there’s often a lot of money at stake, many insurance companies representing the at-fault party do everything they can to deny responsibility and blame the injury victim for causing their accident. That’s why it’s important to have an attorney on your side, looking out for your best interests. Your lawyer can be part of the conversation with insurance companies when it comes to determining who was at fault. Your legal team can also gather evidence in support of your legal claim.

Who can I sue after my accident?

In general, you can take legal action against anyone responsible for causing your premises liability accident. Such at-fault parties often include:

• The property owner where your injury accident took place.
• The property owner’s insurance company.
• The company responsible for maintaining the property if it’s a separate company.
• The company responsible for security on the property if it’s a separate company.

The clock is ticking after your injury accident. In Indiana, you only have two years from the date of your accident to file a premises liability lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss that deadline, you could miss out on your only opportunity to get the money you deserve for your accident-related expenses.
