Common Misconceptions About Premises Liability Cases

The biggest misconception with premises liability cases is that some people think because they have fallen that means someone else must be held responsible. In order to hold somebody responsible for an injury, one has to show that they did something wrong. For example, they allowed something to leak. The property owner had to do something wrong or not correct something that they knew about in order for the defendant to be liable.

What to Avoid Discussing

People should avoid discussing the liability and the reason they fell with other people, because one may say it one way then one person says it another way to another person. If those people come out as witnesses, it could cause a problem with the credibility of the injured party if they have been saying different things as to how the accident occurred.
