Property and business owners have a responsibility to take precautions that will ensure the safety of customers or guests. If the business or property owner knows of a potentially dangerous condition, he or she must warn guests and mark the area to prevent harm. If he or she does not, and the result is serious injury such as brain injury or spinal cord injury, the property owner can be held liable. For example, slippery floors within a business must be properly marked, and unstable steps or potholes should be marked and repaired as soon as possible. Strict liability also applies in premises liability. Strict liability means that even if the home or business owner was not aware of a hazardous condition, he or she may be liable for injuries sustained by visitors to the property. Common premises liability cases involve: young children injured in swimming pools; slip and falls due to unmarked liquid spills; falls from unsafe equipment or buildings; and any other injury sustained due to a property or business owner’s negligence. Often these injuries result in traumatic injuries like spinal cord injury or brain injury.
