Premises Liability
Holding property owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises
Premises Liability Attorney In Memphis, Tennessee
What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners have a crucial responsibility to address and rectify unsafe conditions on their premises that could potentially lead to injuries for guests, customers, or any visitors. For instance, whether it’s a slip and fall incident caused by a slick, wet floor in a bustling restaurant or a poorly secured object that unexpectedly falls and injures a hotel guest, property owners are held accountable for compensating those who are harmed by such unfortunate incidents.
This legal obligation stems from the duty of care that property owners owe to their visitors, which includes maintaining a safe environment that minimizes hazards. Ensuring the safety of guests is not just good practice but also a legal requirement to prevent accidents and injuries. To better understand your rights and the options available to you in the event of an injury, don't hesitate to reach out to the personal injury team at 901Attorneys, LLC today for a consultation.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
Any hazard that a property owner does not address within a reasonable time may lead to liability for injuries suffered by guests. Issues like poor lighting, obstructed walkways, torn carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and uneven steps should be repaired before visitors arrive. Slippery floors are also a common cause of accidents.
However, if the property owner was unaware of the dangerous condition—such as when a customer spills a drink but fails to alert staff—the owner may not be held responsible. That’s why it’s important to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to understand your rights and options.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
The first step after an injury is to seek medical care and keep all related records. If possible, return to the scene of the accident to take photos that document the conditions that caused your injury. If you’re unable to do this yourself, ask someone you trust to help. If the injury happened on a business or organization’s property, be sure to fill out an incident report and keep a copy for your records.
