What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to a category of personal injury claims that are filed against property owners, property managers, and others responsible for ensuring the safety of a property. These claims are filed when someone is injured due to a dangerous or hazardous condition that was present on the property but was not properly maintained or warned about.

Examples of dangerous or hazardous conditions that may give rise to premises liability claims include:

• Defective or dangerous property equipment or machinery
• Falls due to poor lighting or improper flooring
• Dangerous or defective swimming pools or other recreational areas
• Defective or dangerous stairways or walkways
• Defective or hazardous parking lots or parking garages
• Defective or dangerous playgrounds or recreational areas
• Defective or hazardous roofs, walls, or windows
• Defective or hazardous guardrails or other security features

In North Carolina, the maximum recovery for premises liability cases is $500,000. This is important to understand because it means the maximum amount of compensation you can recover is tied to the year and month of your injury. For example, if you are injured in April of 2019, the most you can recover is $500,000. This amount will increase by $50,000 in April of 2020, and so on. The maximum amount of compensation you can recover is always tied to the date of your injury.

It is important to remember that the date of your injury is not necessarily the date you were injured. For example, if you were injured in April of 2019 but did not realize you were injured until May of 2019, the date of your injury is considered to be May of 2019. This is important because the date of your injury determines the maximum amount of compensation you can recover.
