Pennsylvania Premises Liability Laws

Premises liability laws require property owners to maintain a safe premises at all times.  If a person suffers an injury due to a dangerous condition on the premises, they have the right to take legal action against the property owner for damages.  Philadelphia premises liability lawyer Thomas Murphy has a great deal of experience in this area of law, and has successfully handled many premises liability cases throughout his career.  There are a number of circumstances that can ultimately lead to a premises liability lawsuit, such as:

• Injuries sustained due to some type of hazard on the premises.  This can include:
  • Broken stairs
  • Broken handrails
  • Exposed electrical wiring or equipment
  • Exposed holes or ditches
  • Obstructed walkways
  • Cracked or uneven walkways
  • Tattered, torn, or snagged carpets
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Poor lighting
  • Falling objects

These conditions may cause someone to slip, trip, and fall and hurt themselves.  Victims of slip and fall accidents often suffer from a number of painful injuries, including broken bones, fractured ribs, head injuries, neck injuries, internal injuries, injuries to the back or spine, paralysis, permanent disability, and sometimes death. 

• Security negligence.  Lack of security can lead to instances of rape, sexual assault, physical assault, battery, robbery, stalking, and harassment.
• Lack of warning signs.  When a property manager fails to display warning signs, a guest or patron may unintentionally stumble upon a dangerous area, or accidently expose themselves to a hazardous condition.
