What Can Make a Premises Dangerous?
A premises can have a number of dangers if the landowner doesn’t take proper care of it. These dangers can come from deterioration, the weather, and lack of secure measures. Some of the common reasons of premises liability include:
- Spills. If spills or leaks aren’t cleaned up or those on the premises aren’t aware of the liquid on the ground, they could walk into it and slip. This could lead to injuries.
- Uneven Sidewalks. Sidewalks that aren’t even or are crumbling can make an unstable area for people to walk. They could lose their balance and injure themselves.
- Debris. When debris is in the paths of where people walk, they could trip and fall.
- Lack of Adequate Lighting. If darker areas don’t have lighting so people can see where they’re going, they could slip or trip over an object.
- Lack of Security. Lighting, cameras, and security guards can help make a premises more safe for those on it. If someone on the premises is a victim of a crime and the premises lacked security, then the absence of proper security measures could have contributed to the crime occurring.
- Faulty Wiring. A building with faulty wiring could potentially cause shocks or could be a fire hazard on the premises. There could also be issues of old wires that are exposed where people could come into contact with them.
- Swimming Pools. A swimming pool needs to have proper security measures like a fence that locks. This can prevent young children from wandering onto the premises and accessing the pool when adults aren’t around.
- Dogs. When people have a dog, they are responsible for the animal when it’s on and off the property. Being off the property with a dog means it should be on a leash. When it’s on the property, there should be measures that will prevent the dog from leaving the premises.
While these are common reasons why someone was hurt on a property, you may not recognize what caused your accident on the list above. You should reach out to a San Pedro premises liability lawyer because you could still have a legitimate claim.
