Types of Premises Liability Claims
Negligent security (assaults that proper lighting, locks, or guards could have prevented), dangerous stairways and walkways, inadequate maintenance, swimming-pool and drowning incidents, falling merchandise, elevator and escalator injuries, and fire or electrical hazards all fall under premises liability.
Who Is Responsible
Liability can rest with the property owner, a tenant business, a property-management company, or a maintenance contractor — sometimes several at once. Identifying every responsible party and insurer is essential to full recovery.
Proving Negligence in Kentucky
You must show a dangerous condition existed, the responsible party knew or should have known of it, and that it caused your injury. Kentucky's comparative-fault framework governs any shared responsibility.
