Premises Liability in Southern Indiana

The Owner’s Duty of Care

The owner of a property has a specific duty to keep their premises in a safe condition. In order to move forward with a successful premises liability claim, you’ll need to demonstrate that you were legally allowed on the property as an invitee. For instance, if you were a shopper who slipped and fell on the slick surface of a market, you will likely be able to pursue a claim. However, if you were trespassing on private property and you tripped and fell, the owner did not owe you a duty of care and cannot be sued for their failure to protect your safety.
