Premises liability deals with claims involving personal injury while on someone else’s property. Common premises liability claims include slip and fall injuries, dog bites, criminal assaults, and unsafe buildings. Although the type of claims can differ, the theory of liability is usually based on the failure of the property owner or property manager to provide a safe and secure place for the guest on the property. As a result, it is important to show that the property owner or property manager was negligent by failing to provide premises free of hazards or to provide adequate security to protect persons from foreseeable criminal activity. Tennessee does not follow the law of strict liability in premises liability cases. In other words, the fact that you may have been injured on someone else’s property does not automatically allow you to receive compensation for your injuries. Rather you need to establish that the property owner or property manager was aware of a hazardous condition, failed to take reasonable steps to remedy the hazardous condition, and the failure to do so resulted in your personal injury.
