Premises liability cases can results from several types of situations, such as:

• Dog Bites – Dog bites are a common occurrence in the United States. In fact, according to recent studies, nearly five million Americans suffer dog bites every year. It is estimated that an alarming 20 percent of those incidents result in a hospital visit.
• Inadequate Security – Unfortunately, many apartment complexes and other facilities have little to no security. Landlords must take adequate steps to protect their tenants such as hiring security guards or requiring security codes.
• Slip and Fall – Wet floors, failure to shovel snow or salt icy roads, and defective staircases are all reasons why people slip and fall. If the owner either did not know about, or did know about but ignored these conditions, they may be held responsible.
• Amusement Park Accidents – Shockingly, accidents happen at amusement parks at a fairly high rate. This is usually due to negligence on the part of the amusement park.

Damages in a Premises Liability Case

If you are injured at the fault of a property owner, you may be awarded damages. There are two main types of damages:

• Compensatory – Between the physical toll of an injury, medical bills, and emotional suffering, injury victims face incredible hurdles. As a means of alleviating the pain and other damages, money is awarded to the victim.
• Punitive – As its name suggests, punitive damages are designed to punish the property owner in a premises liability case. This often requires that your lawyer prove that the responsible party was willfully negligent.
