What Is Premises Liability?

At Crichton Law in Pennsylvania, we firmly assert that property custodians must be held accountable for the diligent maintenance and prompt correction of hazardous conditions found on their premises, as these circumstances could pose significant harm to their guests or patrons. For instance, in unfortunate incidents where a patron has slipped on a dangerously wet floor in a restaurant or where a hotel guest has been injured by falling or unsecured artwork, it is the responsibility of the property custodians to not only acknowledge these failures but also to make amends for any injuries sustained as a result.


The legal principle that property custodians owe their guests a duty of care is foundational to this obligation. This means that they are required not only to provide a safe environment but also to take proactive measures to rectify any unsafe situations that could lead to injury. To expand your understanding of these important legal matters, we encourage you to reach out to Crichton Law. Our firm is dedicated to handling personal injury cases with the utmost competence, diligence, and commitment to achieving justice for our clients.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?

Any potential safety risks that a property owner fails to address promptly could make them accountable for injuries to their guests. Hazards such as insufficient lighting, obstructions on walkways, torn carpets or mats, shaky stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and irregular stair risers should all be rectified before a property owner extends an invitation to guests. Slippery floors, as well, can be the cause of accidents. However, if the property owner is not conscious of the situation that lead to the fall, like when a patron shatters a soda bottle and doesn't inform a staff member, the owner might not carry the blame. This underlines how crucial it is that you consult with a personal injury attorney, such as Troy Crichton of Crichton Law in Pennsylvania, as swiftly as possible following the incident to understand what alternatives you possess. To discover more about whether your situation is likely to be categorized as premises liability, get in touch with one of our personal injury professionals at Crichton Law today.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?

The initial course of action should be obtaining medical care. It's crucial to retain all documentation pertaining to your injury. If it's feasible, revisit the location of the incident and capture images that convey the circumstances resulting in your injury. If this isn't a possibility, enlist a trusted individual to do this on your behalf. Should your injury be the result of an incident on a business or an organization's property, file a written report ensuring you retain a copy.
