Louisiana Slip & Fall Attorneys
The legal area known as "premises liability" concerns accidents that occur when one person is injured by a dangerous condition on another person's property. Typically, these accidents happen when the property is not reasonably maintained or when defective conditions are present that are not corrected or fixed by the property owner. Slip and fall and trip and fall cases are common types of premises liability cases, along with cases involving inadequate security, falling debris, and other defective conditions. Under premises liability law, property owners may be held liable for injuries that occur on their properties.

In Louisiana, there are three ways to prove liability in premises liability cases. If the property owner knew about the dangerous property conditions, should have known about the dangerous property conditions, or caused the dangerous property conditions, the owner may be held liable for the medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering of accident victims.
Premises liability cases involve a variety of accidents including:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Dog bites
- Inadequate security
- Ice and snow on sidewalks
- Spills and debris in store aisles and sidewalks
Property owners have a duty of case to see that their property is safe. While owners cannot prevent some accidents from occurring, there are many reasonable actions that they can take to prevent or decrease the risk of an accident.
