Premise Liability & Security
If you’ve been injured in an accident or assaulted on someone else’s property, you may be wondering if you have grounds for legal action. Premises liability law is complex, and it can be difficult to know whether or not you have a valid claim. These claims are based on the legal theory that property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. If they fail to do so and you are injured as a result, they may be held liable for the damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What To Do After A Premise Liability Accident or Assault
If you or someone you know has been injured because of a property owner’s or business’s negligence, you should consider contacting a qualified attorney. After your injury, the first thing to do is seek medical attention for yourself or anyone affected. Then make sure the injury is reported to the manager of the company or the business owner. Ask them to create an incident report and make sure to get a copy. Take pictures of the scene that include a date and time stamp. Finally, contact the Hensley Law Firm for legal guidance. We pride ourselves in the skillsets we’ve developed over years of client interaction to ensure you’re supported and advocated for throughout the process.
Who can file a premise liability lawsuit?
Most of the time, a property owner is responsible for ensuring those on his property are safe. However, the extent of the duty of care is specific between the person who was injured and the property owner. There are typically three general categories that those interested in filing a premise liability will be in. Licensees are given express or implicit permission to be on the property. Normally people like houseguests are considered licensees and can file lawsuits. Invitees enter a specific property for beneficial reasons and the property owner makes money. A customer in a store would be considered an invitee and could have grounds to pursue legal action. Trespassers are visitors without permission to enter the property and can also often file lawsuits.

Is My Premise Liability Case Considered Negligent Security?
Negligence is an issue that often leads to and is present in many premise liability cases. Negligent security is defined as a property owner failing to provide reasonable or adequate security on their property for foreseeable criminal acts. Negligent Security can occur in resident and commercial cities such as apartment complexes, bars, nightclubs, ATMs, office buildings, parking lots, schools, and many others. If you’re wondering about negligent security, call our law offices for a free consultation and more information on your specific situation.
