Injured on Another Person's Property?

If you have suffered an injury while on another person's property, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit under North Carolina premises liability laws.  Premises liability refers to the area of law that holds property owners liable for some kinds of injuries suffered on their premises.  Property owners are legally accountable for maintaining a safe premises at all times, and for fixing or repairing any potentially dangerous conditions in a timely manner.  Damages can be sought if a guest, visitor, or patron suffers an injury while on the premises.

Types of Premises Liability Lawsuits

The most common type of premises liability lawsuit is a slip and fall.  When a person slips and falls, he or she may suffer from a number of serious injuries, including broken or fractured bones, brain injuries, back or spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and more.   Other common types of premises liability lawsuits include:

• Dog Bites
• Inadequate Security 
• Exposure to Dangerous Substances 
• Lead Poisoning 
• Retail Store Injuries 
• Elevator Accidents & Injuries 
• Construction Accidents

Winning a Premises Liability Claim

Premises liability law states that people who suffer an injury while on another person's property should be compensated if the following criteria are true:

• You suffered an injury as a result of a condition on the premises, and
• The property owner knew about the condition but failed to fix or repair it in a reasonable amount of time, or
• The property owner knew about the condition but failed to warn guests, visitors, or patrons about the condition

As long as these criteria are met, you could be awarded damages for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical bills, future medical expenses, lost income, loss of benefits, and permanent disability.
