How do I prove duty of care in a premises liability case?

When someone suffers from an accident on another party’s property, they may wish to seek liability. The person may suffer from a serious injury that they need to recover damages to pay for medical bills. Premises liability is a term that can be used to describe the responsibility of a certain party for someone else’s accident. These cases can cover a wide range of accidents. They may include slip and fall accidents or even incidents involving inadequate security. If someone is involved in a slip and fall accident where they are injured on a commercial property, they may wish to seek liability. The individual has the right to do this to seek compensation for their injuries. However, they have to prove that the premises acted negligently and was responsible for their accident.

Duty of care refers to the responsibility of a property owner to maintain safe conditions for their property. When someone is involved in an accident, they have to prove that the property owner had a duty of care to the individual. If someone enters a grocery store to purchase goods, they may be considered an invitee. This may make them able to prove that there was a breached duty of care since the store failed to uphold a standard of safety. If the individual was involved in an accident in the store, this may have been caused by a breached duty of care that the property owner may be responsible for. If the owner did not properly maintain the premises for safety, they may be held liable.

What is a licensee?

A licensee is someone who enters a premises due to a personal invitation. This can mean someone is going to a friend’s house or a coworker’s home for a party. Since the individual was invited onto the property, they may be able to seek liability. While invitees are related to consumers and business transactions, licensees consist of more personal relationships between involved parties.

How can I gain compensation?

Evidence is needed to prove that the opposing party breached their duty of care. By showing this evidence, you may be able to prove that they were at fault and are in fact liable for the incident that occurred. Another factor involved is that the breach caused the injury. As the injured party, you must explain how the breach in the duty of care caused the injury you sustained.
