Premises Liability
Overland Park Premises Liability
When property owners cut corners, ignore needed maintenance, or put corporate profit over human safety, people can get hurt. Falls and other injuries on unsafe properties are not always just an “accident”. They are often caused by a property owner violating basic safety rules, such as failing to have adequate security, failing to clean up a spill, not repairing a broken handrail, failing to provide adequate lighting or not securing a dangerous area.

Your Rights After an Injury Caused by Negligence
Every property owner, from a landlord that owns one building to big corporations that own many buildings, has a legal responsibility to make their property safe and to protect the public from foreseeable dangers on the property. When property owners break those safety rules and someone gets hurt, justice requires that the property owners fully make up for the harm they caused.
Examples of dangerous conditions on property that can cause injury would include:
- Slip and fall (or trip and fall) caused, by something slippery left unattended on the floor, or by uneven flooring;
- Broken stairways, handrails or walkways;
- Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots or alleys;
- Lack of security leading to assault or theft;
- Dog bites or unsafe animals on the premises; or
- Building safety code violations.
