What is premises liability?
Premises liability is an area of law that governs the responsibilities of property owners and the rights of people who visit properties.  Under premises liability law, property owners must ensure that their land remains free of hazards that may endanger the safety of people who visit their property.  If visitors are injured while on property owner's land, they may file personal injury claims to collect monetary damages.
