When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's or business's property, the owner of the property may be liable (legally responsible) if it can be proved that their negligence led to the injury. If you've suffered an injury this type of injury and believe it may be the fault of another person or business, you may be able to recover the costs involved to pay for your medical bills, and any lost earnings, pain, disfigurement, emotional distress or permanent physical disability you have suffered.

Injuries on properties can include those from:

• Dog bites or maulings
• Slip and fall accidents
• Exposure to toxic or hazardous substances such as lead or mold

In cases involving premises liability, plaintiffs, at a minimum, must prove that the property owners either failed to maintain the property or created unsafe conditions which caused the injury, knew about the unsafe hazard but didn't alert visitors or tenants to this fact, were not careful concerning unsafe conditions which might attract children, or took actions or neglected conditions that caused damage to a neighboring property.
