New Castle Premises Liability Lawyers

To have a premises liability case, there are several things that you, as the plaintiff, must prove:

• Duty of Care: You will need to prove that the property owner owed you a duty of care, meaning they had a legal responsibility to prevent you from becoming injured. This typically involves establishing your status as a visitor, whether an invitee or licensee.
• Breach: You will also need to prove that the property owner breached the duty of care they owed to you, whether by failing to adequately remove, repair, or warn you of a dangerous condition or by failing to properly maintain the premises.
  Causation: An important element of a successful premises liability case is proving causation, or the fact that the property owner’s actions or inactions were the direct or proximate cause of your injuries. This often, but not always, requires the testimony of expert witnesses.
• Actual Damages: Lastly, to have a case, you must prove that you sustained measurable (or “actual”) damages related to your injuries, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life, etc.
