Property Owner Liability When You Fall

FELL ON SOMEONE’S PROPERTY ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE?

Is the property owner always responsible when someone falls or is injured on their property? The answer is “no,” not always. Dave Ramsey likes to warn people to use LLCs for property to protect their assets. He says, “in case someone gets drunk and falls off your porch and sues you.” Some property owners do worry about that, but it is really nonsense. First, if they have homeowners insurance, that will protect them in most or every case. Second, the property owner is only responsible if they actually did something wrong to cause your injury.

Many injuries happen on someone’s property. It may be a house, a store, or something else entirely. In most cases, the injury comes from a fall. However, our accident lawyers see injury cases on someone’s property occur many different ways. For example, many cases involve something falling on someone. Also, we frequently get cases from explosions or burn injuries. No matter how the accident happened, the owner is responsible if they did something or failed to do something that caused your accident. But they are not responsbile if they did not do anything wrong.
