normal care and attention on behalf of a property owner, you may have a case.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability seeks to show that a property owner was negligent in
maintaining his or her property and is responsible for a resulting accident.

Some premises liability cases can include:

• Swimming pool accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Snow and ice accidents
• Tripping accidents
• Elevator or escalator accidents
• Fires
• Toxic fume or chemical exposure
• Flooding
• Dog or animal attacks

The plaintiff in these cases must prove that the property owner was careless
with respect to owning and maintaining the property. A Cincinnati premises
liability attorney must also provide evidence that the property was unsafe
and that proper care would have prevented the accident.

Building Long-Term Relationships with Our Clients

Landowners are required to maintain their homes and yards to a certain
degree in order to avoid injury to others. However, they are not responsible
for every person that comes on the premises. Your status as a visitor
may affect your case.

Legally, there are three types of visitors:

• Invitees: These are people that were invited onto another’s property, typically
  for social, retail, service, or work-related reasons.
• Licensees: These visitors have the land owner’s implied or express permission
  to enter the property, but were not formally invited. These could be solicitors,
  maintenance workers, gardeners, or other individuals that perform duties
  on the property.
• Trespassers: A trespasser was not invited or given permission to enter and did so
  without the property owner’s knowledge or consent. Oftentimes, trespassers
  cannot litigate their case because the landowner can argue that they were
  there illegally.

After determining your visitor status, our Cincinnati premises liability
attorneys can help you craft your case. Photographs, eyewitness accounts,
medical records, and detailed descriptions will be essential in seek compensation
and protecting your rights.
