Premises liability arises when there is a dangerous condition on a landowner’s property that has caused injuries, including fires, burns, falling objects, dog bites, unsafe furniture, unpermitted additions or improvements, and slip, trip, and falls on commercial or residential property.
This does not mean that a landowner is responsible for every defect upon the premises, premises liability arises only if there is notice. A landowner’s lack of knowledge of the dangerous condition, however, is not a defense. The landowner has an affirmative duty to exercise ordinary care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition, and, therefore must inspect them or take other proper means to ascertain their condition. And if, by the exercise of reasonable care, the landowner would have discovered the dangerous condition, the landowner is liable.
