Premises Liabilities
What is Premises Liability?
Premises Liability is the responsibility a land or property owner has for accidents, injury or other incidents that occur on his real property. Real property may include buildings, machinery, wells, dams, pools, mines, canals, curbs and roads, among others. A property owner may also be liable for injuries that occur on his property as a result of conditions like snow and ice, wet floors, concealed holes, insufficient lighting, improperly secured mats or other hazards.
In particular, there are specific policies governing the safety of swimming pools and spas at commercial and private residences. State and municipal laws may vary, but property owners are required to maintain safeguards against drowning. Usually these measures involve enclosures around the pool that may include a fence, wall or screen with a lockable gate.
