Who is Liable for Premises Liability Injuries?
In North Carolina, property owners are responsible for ensuring their property is reasonably safe for visitors. If a property owner fails to reasonably maintain their property and someone is injured, the injured person may be able to sue for damages. In these cases, the injured person is known as a "plaintiff" and the property owner is known as the "defendant."
In order to win your case, you must prove the property owner was negligent. To do this, you must prove:
- The property owner owed you a duty of care
- The property owner breached that duty of care
- The breach of duty caused the injury
- You suffered damages as a result of the injury
In premises liability cases, the property owner's duty of care typically involves making sure their property is reasonably safe for visitors. If the property owner fails to maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner, they may be liable for any injuries that result.
